Saturday, January 9th: Friday Night Continues To Exceed Expectations, With Tonight's Tournament To Do The Same!!

ICYMI: Friday night means big numbers at the Isle Casino Pompano Park Poker Room, with the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) crushing the guarantee once again!  Last night's tournament ended up attracting a total of (95) entries, which equated to a prize pool of $10,925.  Of those entries, (12) players were scheduled to reach the money, and add another cash to their tournament resume.  As we've seen in weeks prior, the event ended in a chop, with the final five players agreeing to a deal.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Daniel Restrepo (Cooper City, FL) $2,036
  2. Harold O'Brien (Port St. Lucie, FL) $1,894
  3. Patricia Conrad (Delray Beach, FL) $1,871
  4. Devin Brodman (Coconut Creek, FL) $1,487
  5. Jairo Velasquez (Sunrise, FL) $1,067
  6. Richard Diaz (Tamarac, FL) $519
  7. Jasmine Schofill (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $437
  8. Craig Caffro (Pompano Beach, FL) $382
  9. David Albertson (Margate, FL) $347
  10. Taylor Trudeau (Mount Dora, FL) $317
  11. Danilo Parada (Oakland Park, FL) $295
  12. Robert Dobbs (Delray Beach, FL) $273
Tournaments: Tonight's tournament schedule hosts the $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD), the second leg of what's been known at the "Weekend Swing."  Just like the Friday tournaments, this event has been attracting serious numbers each week, leaving the posted guarantee in the dust.  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and has registration open through Level 8 (and the short break that follows).



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
