Sunday, May 2nd: Derby Fever Carries Over To Saturday Night's Event, Which Attracted A Record Field!

ICYMI: With the tournament resurgence at the Isle Casino Pompano Park, we've seen several record breaking daily tournament fields over the last handful of months.  Last night, we saw a tournament eclipse a number once thought unattainable.  The $100 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) has always been the best "value" tournament on the schedule, which is why the guarantee is more than doubled every Saturday.  Last night's installment attracted a total of (175) players, and an official prize pool of $13,125, which was paid out to (22) players.  Action ended in a six-way deal, which saw all players walk away with at least $1,121 (not bad for a $100 event).  Official results from the event are listed below:
  1. Irwin Block (Pompano Beach, FL) $2,338
  2. Roman Ojeda (West Palm Beach, FL) $1,755
  3. Pedro Palacio (Coconut Creek, FL) $1,436
