Monday, April 5th: Desogos Chops Heads-Up With Farmer, Updated Player Of The Month Leaderboard!

ICYMI: The holiday did not slow things down at the Isle Casino Pompano Park, as yesterday's $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD) attracted solid numbers.  Registration for the event closed with a total of (94) players, equating to a prize pool of $9,400.  Twelve players would earn a piece of the prize pool, with action pausing after the elimination of David Albertson (in third place), at which point a heads-up deal was agreed to.  Roberto Desogos earned $2,767 (and 27.67 leaderabord points) for the win, with the event's official results listed below:

  1. Roberto Desogos (Oakland Park, FL) $2,767
  2. Shawn Farmer (Miami, FL) $2,000
  3. David Albertson (Coral Springs, FL) $1,128
  4. Antonio Campbell (Boynton Beach, FL) $729
  5. Steven Davis (Indiana) $564
  6. Stephen Singer (Delray Beach, FL) $447
  7. Karin Powsner (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $376
  8. Eric Bertand (Miami, FL) $329
  9. Seth Medoff (Pompano Beach, FL) $298
  10. Matthew Lupetin (Oakland Park, FL) $273
  11. Jairo Velasquez (Sunrise, FL) $254
  12. Phillip Whitaker (Miami, FL) $235

Tournaments: At 6:00pm this evening, the $250 No Limit Hold'em ($10,000 GTD) "Final Table Finish" returns, with a little wrinkle.  This particular tournament had such a good structure, that the final table action ran into the closing time of the poker room (players are then faced with chopping, or bagging for a Day 2).  To keep that from occurring, there will be some slight changes moving forward.

The event will be structured with 25,000 chip starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and open registration through Level 8 (and the break that follows).  The new format-wrinkle comes into play when discussing payouts, as the tournament will pay out just the final table, regardless of how many entries.  Exact payout percentages are as follows (final tables are now eight-handed):
  1. 40%
  2. 20%
  3. 10%
  4. 7%
  5. 7%
  6. 6%
  7. 5%
  8. 5%
Promotions: 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.

6:00pm: $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD)
  • Players start with 25,000 in tournament chips
  • Late and re-entries for the first (8) levels
  • Alternates and late entries will start with a full stack
  • Levels will last (20) minutes
