Saturday, November 7th: $5,000 GTD Ends In A Four-Way Deal, With Another Big Tournament On Tonight's Schedule

ICYMI: Friday's poker action was headlined by a $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD), which got underway at 6:00pm.  The posted guarantee was eclipsed midway through the tournament's registration, with the final number reaching $7,360.  Of the (64) total entries in the tournament, eight were scheduled to reach the money.  Action continued through the money bubble, eventually pausing when four-handed play was reached, with the remaining players agreeing to a deal.  Arie Ben-Mayor (Parkland, FL) took home first place money in the deal ($1,730), with the official results from the event listed below:

1. Arie Ben-Mayor (Parkland, FL) $1,730
2. Jose Contreras (Glen Dale, MD) $1,656
3. Christopher Linsinbigler (Loxahatchee, FL) $1,285
4. Joao Santos (Delray Beach, FL) $1,173
5. Daniel Berg (Oakland Park, FL) $515
6. William Romano (Pompano Beach, FL) $405
7. Kenia Espinoza (Davie, FL) $331
8. Chrystie Dario (Lake Worth, FL) $265

Tournaments: The tournament action continues this evening, with a $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD), that begins at 6:00pm.  The tournament is structured with 12,000 chip starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and has registration through Level 8 (and the break that follows).  Just like last night's event, the guarantee is expected to be surpassed early in play, as the numbers continue to rise.

Promotions: There is a short break from "special" high hand promotions today, with the "standard" high hand awarded over the course of the day (11:00am-3:00am).  What is the "standard" high hand you ask? The qualifying high hand for every (30) minutes will be awarded $100, with said hand having to be made using both hole cards (one card high hands no longer qualify).

We are looking forward to a "special" high hand promotion next week, with $500 high hands on Tuesday (November 10th)!!
