Friday, October 1st: Raminder Singh Can Book His Flight To Las Vegas, As He Wins Seat Into WSOP $10,000 Main Event!!!

ICYMI: One thing that separates the good from the great, is the ability to perform when expected to (or when all of the chips are on the table, to use a good poker saying).  Raminder Singh came into last night's tournament with a slight lead on the leaderboard, and knew that those close behind, would also be giving their best efforts.  As he has done all this month, Raminder showed up to the tournament, and took care of business.    Singh bested a field of (71) entries, to take home first place money in a three-way deal, and earn the coveted WSOP Main Event seat!!  Official results from the tournament are listed below, along with a finalized leaderboard for the month:

  1. Raminder Singh (Delray Beach, FL) $1,733
  2. Jeremiah Pinto (Coral Springs, FL) $1,375
  3. Alexander Obed (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,238
  4. Gerard Forrester (Lake Worth, FL) $565
  5. Gil Nachum (Dania Beach, FL) $436
  6. Didier Bramy (Parkland, FL) $339
  7. Robert Gelin (Boynton Beach, FL) $291
  8. Genrikas Sakalinskas (Miami, FL) $258
  9. David Coughlin (Lighthouse Point, FL) $226

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).
