Friday, July 30th: Lamberta Tops "Double Green Chip Bounty" Chop, But It's Jonathan Gordon Making The Biggest Leaderboard Move!

ICYMI: Thursday's $150 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) was the turn towards the homestretch, as it signified the final four events of the month.  Players that have their eyes focused on the top prize for the leaderboard, made sure they were in attendance.  Registration for the tournament closed with (126) entries, and an official prize pool of $8,190 (and a $6,300 bounty pool).  A total of (16) players were scheduled to see a return on investment, with action playing down to a four-handed final table.  At that point, the remaining players decided to chop, with Joseph Lamberta (Bartlett, IL) taking home first place money.  Jonathan Gordon not only got second place money, but made a rapid rise up the leaderboard, after securing 19.92 points.  Official results from the tournament are listed below, with an updated leaderboard to follow:

Tournaments: With the arrival of the weekend, comes the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD)...the tournament that started this incredible "re-introduction" of the Isle Casino Pompano Park poker room.  The cards get in the air at 6:00pm, with players sitting down to starting stacks of 15,000.  Levels will last (20) minutes throughout the evening, with registration open through Level 8 (and the break that follows).

Promotions: From 10:00am (the minute the doors open) to 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).  The 11:00pm-Close period will then see $100 high hands awarded every (30) minutes.

In addition to the high hands, there is a "bonus" promotion in place, which offers $1,000 to the highest hand from the 10:00am-12:00pm time period.  If a player makes a straight flush in the 10:00am-10:30am qualifying period, and that is the best qualifying high hand from 10:00am-12:00pm, they will earn an extra $1,000 (in addition to the $300 they were awarded for the half-hour time period).
