Friday, October 15th: Philip Whitaker And German Zaga Chop "Double Green Chip Bounty," Early Leaders On The Weekly Leaderboard

ICYMI: Just over a day after Charlemagne Benjamin was crowned the Weekly Leaderboard winner, the tournament week reset, with the $180 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD).  The tournament would attract a total of (89) entries, which was significantly more than last week's installment.  The $8,099 prize pool was scheduled to be spread across the tournament's top (12) players, with the action playing down to a heads-up chop.  Philip Whitaker and German Zaga agreed to a very close deal, which saw Whitaker walk away with $2,168.  Official results from the event are listed below:
  1. Philip Whitaker (Miami, FL) $2,168
  2. German Zaga (Tamarac, FL) $1,939
  3. Anthony Close (West Palm Beach, FL) $972

Tournaments: With the arrival of the weekend, comes the $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD)...the tournament that started this incredible tournament resurgence at 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).

6:00pm - $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD)
  • Players start with 15,000 in tournament chips
