Friday, August 27th: Tae And Wyler Chop Even...Kickstarter High Hands Award $1,000, And Tournament Time Once Again!

ICYMI: Thursday' $180 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) has seen some nice sized fields since the buy-in increased, but last night was one of the better showings since.  Registration for the tournament closed with a total of (122) entries, which equated to a prize pool of $11,102.  The real value of a bounty tournament, is the overall prize pool, as deep runs are still awarded appropriately (not just eliminating players).  Of those entries, (16) players were scheduled to reach the money, with the night's action playing down to a heads-up final table.  Lucas Tae (St. Charles, FL) and Scott Wyler (Ocean Ridge, FL) agreed to an even chop, which saw each walk away with $2,610.  The pair also earned 28.68 leaderboard points, which suddenly puts them in the mix, as we are less than a week away from awarding a WSOP Main Event seat.  Official results from the bounty event are listed below:

1. Lucas Tae (St. Charles, FL) $2,610
2. Scott Wyler (Ocean Ridge, FL) $2,610

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-12:00pm time period.  If a player makes a straight flush in the 10:00am-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).
