Wednesday, February 26th: Halfway Through The Work Week, Poker Action Picking Up At The Isle Pompano Park

ICYMI: After two days off, the recurring tournament schedule returned on Tuesday, beginning with the $120 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo ($2,000 GTD).  Cards got in the air at 11:00am, and by the time registration closed for the event, the field reached (25) entries.  The $2,425 prize pool was scheduled to be paid across three spots, but the tournament would wrap up after a six-way chop was agreed to.  Robert Gordon (Boca Raton, FL) took home first place money in the deal, with the official results listed below:

1. Robert Gordon (Boca Raton, FL) $578
2. Harry Eisenberg (Wayland, MA) $494
3. Michael Guardino (Coconut Creek, FL) $486
4. Ronald Schoeder (Pembroke Pines, FL) $362
5. Mark Robinson (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $355
6. Robert Wachtel (Boca Raton, FL) $150

The evening time slot hosted the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster," which carried a guaranteed prize pool of $3,000.  Like it has so many times before, the tournament crushed the posted guarantee, with a total of (48) entries (and an official prize pool of $4,656).  Just like the afternoon tournament that came before it, the "Chip Buster" ended in an agreed-to chop, with eight players involved (official results listed below):

1. Jeff Garbus (Apollo Beach, FL) $827
2. David Coughlin (Lighthouse Point, FL) $813
3. Gus Decardo (Lighthouse Point, FL) $773

6. Frank Lamara (Philadelphia, PA) $489
7. Robert Feinstein (Lake Worth, FL) $481
8. Edward Rappa (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $140

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.

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.
