ICYMI: Thursday's $180 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) cruised past the posted guarantee, as registration for the tournament closed with a total of (73) entries. The $6,643 prize pool was scheduled to be spread across nine pay-spots, in addition to the $3,650 bounty pool, that was to be awarded for each elimination (players earned $50 per knockout). While the common trend sees these recurring tournaments end in a chop (more often than not), last night's installment played down to an outright winner. Jill Herron (Lindenhurst, NY) ended up besting Joseph Kearns during heads-up play, to take home $2,260, along with 24.84 leaderboard points. Official results from the tournament are listed below:
- Jill Herron (Lindenhurst, NY) $2,260
- Joseph Kearns (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,295
- Eric Lerner (Hallandale, FL) 4810
- Robert Kessler (Parkland, FL) $548
- Bruce Mair (Coral Springs, FL) $415
- Ira Horowitz (Miami, FL) $332
- James Majuste (Lauderdale Lakes, FL) $292
- Kevin McGillicuddy (Coral Springs, FL) $266
- James Tomblin (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $226
