Saturday, November 9th: Indrecible Day Of Action, With The Deepstack Charity Classic Tour In Full Swing, And Names Like Hellmuth, Sexton, And Chad In The Mix

ICYMI: Friday was the beginning of the Deepstack Charity Classic Tour, with Event #1 of the series getting underway at 1:00pm.  The $220 No Limit Hold'em event was dubbed the "Celebrity Bounty" tournament, hosted by Mike Sexton and Norman Chad.  The action was great throughout the event, and most importantly, everyone involved had a great time!!!  Registration for the event closed with (42) entries, and an official prize pool of $7,210.  Six players were scheduled to reach the money, but once play reached the money bubble, players agreed to a seven-way chop.  Details of the deal are listed below, with Justin Levy (Boynton Beach, FL) taking home first place money:

1. Justin Levy (Boynton Beach, FL) $1,472
2. Lonny Weitzel (Texarkana, TX) $1,412
3. Gina Landry (Quebec, CA) $1,096
4. Salvatore Accardi (Pompano Beach, FL) $1,022
5. Jesse Mendelsohn (Boynton Beach, FL) $803
6. Andre Chaviano (Hollywood, FL) $703
7. Thomas Curtis (Miami Springs, FL) $612

Tournaments: It is a full day of Deepstack Charity Classic events on the schedule, beginning at 11:00am, with a $110 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into "Sexton On The Beach," which is a $490 No Limit Hold'em tournament at 7:00pm this evening (with the winner getting a $15,000 PartyPoker package).  The first actual event of the day (non-satellite) is at 1:00pm, and is a $100 No Limit Hold'em tournament (Event #2 of the series).

Then we start to get into the meat of the Deepstack Charity Classic Tour, with Event #3 at 2:00pm.  The $195 H.O.R.S.E. tournament should be one of the more enjoyable events of the series, as players are offered free BBQ and Pabst Blue Ribbons (while supplies last, and for those over the legal drinking age).  The mix of Hold'em, Omaha 8B, Razz, Stud Hi, and Stud Hi/Lo is a special one, and attracts a very devoted crowd.

At 3:00pm, we have the largest buy-in event of the series, the $2,200 No Limit Hold'em "Beat The Brat" High Roller.  This tournament is hosted by Phil Hellmuth, which alone will draw players, along with the standard high roller crowd that always frequents these events.  

The final event of the night is Event #5 of the series, the $490 No Limit Hold'em "Sexton On the Beach."  This tournament may be the attractive of all on the schedule, considering that there is a $15,000 PartyPoker prize package to first place (into the upcoming PartyPoker Millions Main Event, hosted at the Baha Mar in Nassau, Baahamas).

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 "November 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.
