Saturday, January 2nd: Friday's Festivities End In A Multi-Way Chop, With Saturday's Success Looming

ICYMI: In terms of tournament success, 2021 got off to a great start with last night's $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD).  The event got underway at 6:00pm, and by the time registration closed (after Level 8), the tournament clock would show (94) entries.  That equated to a prize pool of $10,810, of which (12) players would earn a respective share.  As we've seen many times in the past few months, the action ended in a chop, with the final seven players agreeing to the altered payouts.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. William Travers (Delray Beach, FL) $1,698
  2. Edward Shea (Slingerland, NY) $1,639
  3. Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) $1,349
  4. Daniel Genachte (Deerfield Beach, FL) $1,297
  5. James Newcomb (Parkland, FL) $1,187
  6. Brian Dunn (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,129
  7. Engelberth Valera (Miami, FL) $915
  8. Conley Howard (Boca Raton, FL) $378
  9. Michael Bailine (Davie, FL) $343
  10. David Rauch (Pompano Beach, FL) $313
  11. Walter Buss (Brussels, Belgium) $292
  12. Charles Petruzzi (Deerfield Beach, FL) $270
Tournaments: The "Weekend Swing" continues this evening (6:00pm), with a $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD).  Possibly the best "value" tournament on the schedule, the event is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and has registration open through Level 8.  This particular tournament has crushed the guarantee over the past few weeks, and offers an incredible return on investment!

Promotions: Saturday's high hand promotion stays the same from open to close...awarded $100 every (30) minutes, to the qualifying high hand (must be aces-full or better).  In order to make a qualifying high hand, players must use both hole cards, as one-card high hands are no longer eligible.

6:00pm: $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD)
  • Players start with 12,000 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
