Friday, December 10th: Jill Herron Takes Down "Double Green Chip Bounty," With $1,000 "Highest Hand" Promotion Headlining Early Morning Action!!

ICYMI: Thursday's $180 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) cruised past the posted guarantee, as registration for the tournament closed with a total of (73) entries.  The $6,643 prize pool was scheduled to be spread across nine pay-spots, in addition to the $3,650 bounty pool, that was to be awarded for each elimination (players earned $50 per knockout).  While the common trend sees these recurring tournaments end in a chop (more often than not), last night's installment played down to an outright winner.  Jill Herron (Lindenhurst, NY) ended up besting Joseph Kearns during heads-up play, to take home $2,260, along with 24.84 leaderboard points.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Jill Herron (Lindenhurst, NY) $2,260
2. Joseph Kearns (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,295
3. Eric Lerner (Hallandale, FL) 4810
4. Robert Kessler (Parkland, FL) $548
5. Bruce Mair (Coral Springs, FL) $415
6. Ira Horowitz (Miami, FL) $332
7. James Majuste (Lauderdale Lakes, FL) $292
8. Kevin McGillicuddy (Coral Springs, FL) $266
