ICYMI: Thursday's $180 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) has a dedicated group of players, that will find ways to be in attendance each week. Last night's tournament saw registration close with a total of (63) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $5,733 (and a $3,150 bounty pool). A total of eight players were scheduled to reach the money, and after the money bubble burst, action played down to a three-handed final table. At that point, the remaining players agreed to a deal, with Pedro Palacio taking home first place money. Pedro is a prior Player of the Month winner, and now has a little jump-start towards a second title. Official results from the tournament are listed below:
- Pedro Palacio (Coconut Creek, FL) $1,517
- Scott Wyler (Ocean Ridge, FL) $1,430
- Jonathan Marcu (Boca Raton, FL) $1,090
- Antonio Colon (Princeton, FL) $516
- Joseph Kearns (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $401
- Joseph Dutchman (Miami, FL) $315
- Omar Sader (Pompano Beach, FL) $258
- Genrikas Sakalinskas (Miami, FL) $206
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-1:00pm 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).
