Saturday, January 30th: Friday's Festivities End In Five-Way Chop, "Weekend Swing" Rolls On With $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD)

ICYMI: Friday's continue to be the most popular day, in relation to tournament poker at the Isle Casino Pompano Park!  Last night's $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) more than doubled the guarantee (once again), as registration for the tournament closed with (104) entries.  Of those entries, (13) players were scheduled to reach the money, with the action playing down to the point where the final table was five-handed.  Those players remaining then agreed to a chop, with Michael Laufer (Boca Raton, FL) taking home $1,934, and the other four players walking away with $1,732.  The official results from last night's event are listed below:

1. Michael Laufer (Boca Raton, FL) $1,934
2. Shawn Farmer (Miami, FL) $1,732
3. Danny Blackburn (Deerfield Beach, FL) $1,732
4. James O'Brien (Port St. Lucie, FL) $1,732
5. Juan Matilde (Mexico) $1,732

Tournaments: The "Weekend Swing" continues this evening (6:00pm), with our $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD).  What's become known as our best "value" tournament of the week, is attracting very similar numbers to what we see on Friday's.  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.

• Players start with 12,000 in tournament chips
• Late and re-entries for the first (8) levels
