Sunday, April 11th: Arturo Alfonso Holds The Key To "Valuetown," Monster Stack To Attract Monster Numbers!

ICYMI: The good old $100 buy-in tournament is not something you find a lot of these days, which could be the reason Saturday's tournament does so well.  Last night was another impressive showing, as registration for the tournament closed with (155) entries, and a prize pool of $11,625.  A total of (19) players would see a return on investment, many of which were familiar names to the Isle Pompano Park poker community.  The evening's action concluded in a five-way deal, with Arturo Alfonso taking home first place money ($1,839).  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Arturo Alfonso (Miami, FL) $1,839
2. David Singer (Boynton Beach, FL) $1,725
