Monday, January 18th: Recapping Sunday's Action, As $300 High Hands Headline The Day's Schedule!

ICYMI: Of the three tournaments that make up the "Weekend Swing," Sunday's event has been the most underrated.  This tournament can no longer fly under the radar, as the numbers have been staggering, since a $3,000 guarantee was added.  Yesterday's installment of the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD) began at 3:00pm, and ended up attracting a total of (93) entries (which equated to a prize pool of $9,300.  A total of twelve players would earn a share of the prize pool, with action eventually ended in a four-way chop (with Kristie Nelso taking home first place money in the deal).  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Kristie Nelso (Cartersville, GA) $1,866
2. Darkhan Botabayev (Sunny Isles, FL) $1,860
3. Alex Kashirin (Sunny Isles, FL) $1,422
4. Milli Berman (Pompano Beach, FL) $1,405
5. Frank Traino (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $558
6. David Mazzox (Boynton Beach, FL) $442
7. Robert Dobs (Delray Beach, FL) $372
8. Karin Powsner (Pompano Beach, FL) $326
9. Patricia Conrad (Delray Beach, FL) $295
10. Joseph Sciarrino (Ft. Pierce, FL) $270
11. Andrew Daire (Boca Raton, FL) $251
12. Carlos Vazquez (Weston, FL) $233

Tournaments: Monday is not only the start of the work week, but also the beginning of the gap between 

"Weekend Swings." We will look forward to this Thursday (which isn't that far away), as the "new" swing returns with the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) on January 21st (at 6:00pm).

Promotions: It's the second week of the new year, and the "new" promotional schedule is growing in popularity.  From 11:00am (the minute the doors open) until 11:00pm, $300 high hands will be awarded every (30) minutes.  These high hands must be aces-full or better, use both hole cards, and be the winning hand (in a pot that has at least $10).  From 11:00pm until close, $100 high hands will be awarded every (30) minutes.
