Wednesday, November 10th: Marvin Young Tops Tuesday's Three-Way Deal, As We Take A One-Day Tournament Break

ICYMI: Tuesday's $160 No Limit Hold'em ($10,000 GTD) is continually growing in popularity, not only as an additional date on the weekly schedule, but also a tournament with a boosted guarantee.  Last night's installment attracted a total of (74) entries, which was just short of the number needed to reach the guaranteed number (of $10,000).  The "final table finish" payout structure meant that first place was scheduled to take home $4,000, but the top three payouts would eventually be altered.  The final table action paused when play reached three-handed, so players could work out the numbers for a deal.  Marvin Young would end up taking home first place money ($2,805), with official results from the event listed below:

1. Marvin Young (Miami, FL) $2,805
2. Marc Roth (Plantation, FL) $2,625
3. Dennis Gilman (Hillsboro Beach, FL) $1,370
4. Robert Williams (Miami Gardens, FL) $700
5. Blaine McRae (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $700
6. Omar Sader (Pompano Beach, FL) $600
7. Mark Brannick (Boca Raton, FL) $600
8. Jonathan Marcu (Boca Raton, FL) $300
9. Shamica Lamar (Wellington, FL) $300

Promotions: From 10:00am (the minute the doors open) until 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).  From 11:00pm until close, $100 high hands will be awarded every (30) minutes.
