Friday, September 17th: "Double Green Chip Bounty" End In Heads-Up Chop, With Friday's $5,000 Guarantee Looking To Soar!

ICYMI: Thursday's $180 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) kicked off a new weekend of tournament poker, and provided another opportunity for players to earn those valuable leaderboard points.  For the first time in recent memory, the tournament did not eclipse the (75) entry mark, but the guarantee was surpassed nonetheless.  Registration for the tournament closed with a total of (59) entries, and an official prize pool of $5,369 (bounty pool of $2,700).  A total of eight players would reach the money, with action playing down to a heads-up final table.  At that point, the final two players agreed to a deal, with each earning $1,535 (second place took one dollar less).  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

  1. Jacque Doucette (Lake Worth, FL) $1,535
  2. Peter Cleven (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,534
  3. Dean Stevenson (Coral Springs, FL) $711
  4. Martin Borras (Sunny Isles, FL) $483
  5. Kevin Dubrocq (Hialeah, FL) $376
  6. Dylan Fundator (Miami, FL) $295
  7. Felipe Martinez (Stuart, FL) $242
  8. Marc Roth (Plantation, FL) $193

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).
