Registration was open for eight levels, and when the window for entry closed, the tournament clock would show a total of (9) entries.  The guaranteeed $13,000 package was up for grabs, and when the dust settled, Tom Gity (Port St. Lucie, FL) would be the final player remaining.  A tournament veteran, and one of the more succesful players in recent Isle history, Gity will surely be a great representative of the room.

Tournaments: Today's schedule focuses on the $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Go" once again.  These single-table tournaments are paying out two spots, with the first and second place finishers earning $350 (adding an element of "survivor" to the proceedings).  Players that are interested in these "Sit-N-Gos" can put their name on the list (at the brush stand), and once ten names are collected, the tournament will begin.

Promotions: The day's promotions begin at 9:00am, with three hours of "Turbo High Hands," as $100 will be awarded every (10) minutes (rollovers apply).  The promotion runs from 9:00am-12:00pm, and has quickly become popular with the players (as the rollovers have seen some high hands reach the $1,000 mark!!!).

The standard high hand promotion then takes over, and runs from 12:00pm-12:00am.  Qualifying high hands will be awarded $300, given away every (30) minutes (no rollovers).  During that period, if the winning high hand is made using one card, a $150 prize will be awarded.  For those players playing in a tournament, winning high hands will be paid out $100.

Thursday, January 23rd: "Turbo High Hands" And "Chip Buster" Headline Friday's Schedule

ICYMI: At 6:00pm, the $125 No Limit Hold'em "Green Chip Bounty" got underway, with registration open for eight levels.  When that window closed, the tournament clock would show (20) entries, of which three players were scheduled to reach the money.  Once the bubble burst, there would be one in-the-money elimination, followed by a heads-up chop.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Richard Fleming (Delray Beach, FL) $560
  2. Carolyn Mevorah (Pompano Beach, FL) $560
  3. Carroll Ross (Bristol, CT) $280
Tournaments: In the evening time slot (6:00pm), we have the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" ($3,000 GTD), one of (if not) the most popular recurring tournaments on the schedule.  The event is structured with 50,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Promotions: The doors open at 9:00am, with three hours of "Turbo High Hands," as $100 will be awarded every (10) minutes (rollovers apply).  The promotion runs from 9:00am-12:00pm, and has quickly become popular with the players (as the rollovers have seen some high hands reach the $1,000 mark!!!).

The standard high hand promotion then takes over, and runs from 12:00pm-12:00am.  Qualifying high hands will be awarded $300, given away every (30) minutes (no rollovers).  During that period, if the winning high hand is made using one card, a $150 prize will be awarded.  For those players playing in a tournament, winning high hands will be paid out $100.

From 12:00am-3:00am, $100 high hands will be awarded every (60) minutes.

6:00pm - $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" ($3,000 GTD)

- Players start with 50,000 in tournament chips
- Late and re-entries for the first (8) levels
- Alternates and late entries will start with a full stack
- Levels will last (20) minutes

Wednesday, January 22nd: "Turbo High Hands" To Open The Door, Followed By Bounty Tournaments Galore

ICYMI: Tuesday's tournament schedule got underway in the afternoon (11:00am), with the $120 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo event, that carried a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  As it has done on a consistent basis, the tournament eclipsed the guarantee, as registration closed with (24) total entries (and an official prize pool of $2,328).  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, but a deal was agreed to on the bubble, with Gregg Weiss (Delray Beach, FL) taking home first place money.  The official results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Gregg Weiss (Delray Beach, FL) $780
  2. Michael Boykin (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $690
  3. Harry Eisenberg (Wayland, MA) $377
  4. Jeffrey Liebster (Delray Beach, FL) $373
  5. Mark Kottler (Boynton Beach, FL) $108
The evening time slot (6:00pm) hosted the ever-popular $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster," which had a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.  That number would be easily eclipsed, as registration cloxsed with (40) entries in the field.  Five players were scheduled to reach the money, and after the in-the-money elimination of Zaki Lichaa, a four-way chop was agreed to.  Official results form the "Chip Buster" are listed below:
  1. George Miro (Royal Palm Beach, FL) $1,311
  2. Paul Humphrey (Ocala, FL) $854
  3. Robert Transue (North Lauderdale, FL) $725
  4. Ronald Sorci (Parkland, FL) $680
  5. Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) $310
Tournaments: Today's tournament schedule begins with a "new" event in the 11:00am time slot...a $60 No Limit Hold'em "Bounty" tournament ($10 bounties).  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 10.

In the evening time slot (6:00pm), we see the return of the $125 No Limit Hold'em "Green Chip Bounty" event.  The tournament is structured with 18,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and has registration open through Level 8.
