Friday, December 3rd: Celso Leroy Returns To The Winner's Circle, With $1,000 "Highest Hand" Promotion Headlining The Day's Action!

ICYMI: Thursday's $180 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) saw things return to form, with a field that helped surpass the posted guarantee (with ease).  Registration for the tournament closed with a total of (65) entries, of which nine players would earn a piece of the $5,915 prize pool (along with $50 bounties for each elimination).  The event's action played down to a three-handed final table, at which point a deal was agreed to, with Celso Leroy (Delray Beach, FL) taking home first place money.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Celso Leroy (Delray Beach, FL) $1,412
2. Philip Whitaker (Miami, FL) $1,373
3. Robert Transue (North Lauderdale, FL) $1,192

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-1:00pm time period.  If a player makes a straight flush in the 9:00am-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).
