Saturday, October 26th: Yet Another Big Day Of Poker, With A $3,500 GTD Evening Tournaments, And $500 High Hands (6:00PM-Midnight)

ICYMI: There was only one tournament on Saturday's recurring tournament schedule, and it was in the evening time slot (6:00pm).  The $75 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor" ($1,000 GTD) that ran, had seen a lot of success in the Friday afternoon time slot (prior), with last night's event following suit.  The tournament's registration closed with a total of (22) entries in the field, and had an official prize pool of $1,100 (meaning there would be two $500 winner, and a third place scheduled to earn $100).  Players ended up agreeing to a four-way deal on the money bubble, with the official results listed below:

  1. Oscar Guerra (Pompano Beach, FL) $327
  2. Marjorie Tannenbaum (Pompano Beach, FL) $283
  3. Blaine McRae (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $262
  4. Seth Levine (Pinecrest, FL) $228
Tournaments: There are two tournaments on today's schedule, beginning at 11:00am, with the $80 No Limit Hold'em "Bankroll Builder" ($2,000 GTD).  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and has registration that is open through Level 8.  This event does not offer the optional add-ons at the end of registration.  

In the evening time slot, we see one of the larger guaranteed tournaments of the week.  The $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,500 GTD) event gets underway at 6:00pm, and should cruise past the posted guarantee.  The tournament is structured with 25,000 unit starting stacks, levels that last (20) minutes, and has registration that is open through Level 8.


Promotions: The "standard" high hands will be awarding $300 every (30) minutes (from 9:00am-6:00pm).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded to those that use one card to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, high hands are worth $100.

At 6:00pm, the high hands get a little "October boost," as they transition to $500 every (30) minutes.  Players that make the high hand with one card during that period, will be awarded a $250 prize.

From 12:00am-9:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
