Monday, December 28th: Recapping The Final Event Of The "Weekend Swing," And Re-Introducing $300 High Hands!

ICYMI: Sunday was the final day of the holiday weekend, with a lot of people returning to work today (Monday).  This weekend's success has been incredible, with yesterday's $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD) finishing the trifecta strong.  Registration for the 3:00pm tournament ended with a total of (72) entries, and an official prize pool of $7,200.  The final the players were guaranteed a piece of the prize pool, with action playing down to the point where things were three-handed.  A deal was the agreed to, with Devin Brodman (Coconut Creek, FL) taking home first place money.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

  1. Devin Brodman (Coconut Creek, FL) $1,921
  2. Anthony Casas (Miami, FL) $1,921
  3. Jordan Shamah (Delray Beach, FL) $1,000

Tournaments: That's a wrap for tournaments in December, as the next event will be on January 1st (Friday).  While we can assume the tournament schedule ("Weekend Swing") will look the same, players should keep an eye on the blog (and all other Isle Pompano Park Poker Room social media outlets), for new announcement to make their way to the public.

Promotions: The room opens at 11:00am, with $100 high hands awarded every (30) minutes.  In order to qualify for the high hand, players have to have aces-full (or better), using both hole cards (one-card high hands no longer qualify).  At 2:00pm, we see a shift in the high hands, with $300 be awarded every (30) minutes, until 10:00pm.
