Friday, January 14th: Rakoff Tops Threw-Way Mystery Bounty Deal, As The Weekend Action Is Upon Us!!!

ICYMI: Thursday's tournament slot was filled (for the second time) by the $180 No Limit Hold'em "Mystery Bounty" ($5,000 GTD), which is an event that is quickly gaining the interest of tournament players.  Registration for last night's tournament closed with a total of (47) entries, and an official prize pool of $4,277 (bounty pool of $2,800).  A total of six players were scheduled to reach the money, with action playing down to a three-handed final table.  At that point, the remaining players agreed to a deal, which saw Mark Rakoff (West Palm Beach, FL) walk away with $1,140.  Official results from the tournament are listed below (including the mystery bounty prizes):

  1. Mark Rakoff (West Palm Beach, FL) $1,140

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 9:00am (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.

In addition to the high hands, there is a "bonus" promotion in place, which offers $1,000 to the highest hand from the 9:00am-12:00pm time period.  If a player makes a straight flush in the 9:00am-9:30am qualifying period, and that is the best qualifying high hand from 9:00am-12:00pm, they will earn an extra $1,000 (in addition to the $300 they were awarded for the half-hour time period).

6:00pm - $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD)
  • Players start with 15,000 in tournament chips
  • Levels will last (20) minutes 
  • Late and re-entries for the first (8) levels
