Monday, September 20th: "Final Table Finish" Ready To Offer Healthy Payouts, And Player Of The Month Leaderboard Points!

ICYMI: Sunday's $400 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) once again showed players, why it's one of the best recurring events in the area.  The field grew to (95) entries by registration's close, with over $10,000 of the $33,060 prize pool going to first place.  As afternoon turned to evening, the final table continued on, until the point that play was four-handed.  The remaining players then agreed to a four-way deal, with Raminder Singh (Boynton Beach, FL) taking home first place money.  Singh added over $7,300 to his lifetime earnings, and another first place to his resume (which is about as impressive as an "amateur" could have).  Official results from the tournament are listed below, with an updated leaderboard as well:
  1. Raminder Singh (Boynton Beach, FL) $7,384
  2. Altabal Mohamed (Miami, FL) $5,640
  3. Charlemagne Benjamin (Miami Gardens, FL) $5,315
  4. Marc Roth (Plantation, FL) $4,960
  5. Amit Savani (Miami, FL) $1,984
  6. Martin Borras (Sunny Isles, FL) $1,570
  7. Nancy Birnbaum (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,322
  8. David Albertson (Coral Springs, FL) $1,157
  9. Michael Bailine (Davie, FL) $1,049
  10. Marco Rodriguez (Sunrise, FL) $969
  11. Scott Baumstein (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $893
  12. Philip Whitaker (Miami, FL) $827


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 nine-handed):
  1. 40%
  2. 18%
  3. 10%
  4. 7%
  5. 7%
  6. 6%
  7. 6%
  8. 3%
  9. 3%
Promotions: From 10:00am (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
