Thursday, November 5th: Preparing For The "Weekend Swing," And Looking Forward To $500 High Hands Next Week!!!

ICYMI: Yesterday was another succesful day at the Isle Casino Pompano Park Poker Room, with the action seemingly picking up on a daily basis (especially with the $300 high hand promotion that runs on Tuesday and Wednesday).  The room has been hosting mostly 1/2 No Limit Hold'em since return to play (in mid-August), but interest in 2/5 No Limit Hold'em and 8/16 Omaha 8B/Stud 8B has been growing.

Tournaments: There are no tournaments on today's schedule, but we are just over twenty-four hours away from the return of the "weekend swing," a trifecta of tournaments that run Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening.  The first of which is a $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD), with the cards getting in the air at 6:00pm tomorrow (Friday, November 6th).  The tournament is structured with 15,000 chip starting stacks, has (20) minute levels, and offer late registration through Level 8.  There is no cap on the field size (or re-entry), so it allows for some impressive numbers.  Last week's installment had (80) entries, and a first place prize that was north of $3,000.  All results from the Friday tournament will be posted here on the blog, along with results from the tournaments that follow.



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)!!
