ICYMI: Thursday's $200 No Limit Hold'em ($15,000 GTD) got underway at 6:00pm, and saw a field that grew to (59) entries. After the optional add-ons were collected (and added to the prize pool), the official number did not reach the posted guarantee, which meant there would be a small overlay. A total of eight players were scheduled to earn a piece of the $15,000 prize pool, with action playing through the money bubble, and down to a heads-up final table. Brayden Fritzshall and Chris Underwood agreed to a deal, which saw the former walk away with first place money. Official results from the tournament are listed below, along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard:
- Brayden Fritzshall (Chicago, Illinois) $5,399
- Chris Underwood (Lantana, FL) $3,173
- Nicholas Velentzas (Pompano Beach, FL) $1,988
- Travis Butler (Pompano Beach, FL) $1,350
- Oleg Feldman (Boca Raton, FL) $1,050
- Lee Connell (Boynton Beach, FL) $825
- Jeremy Ehrke (Clay, MI) $675
- Craig Pollak (Lake Park, FL) $540
Tournaments: With the arrival of the weekend, comes the $80 No Limit Hold'em ($4,000 GTD)...a new event that replaces the $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD). The cards get in the air at 6:00pm, with players sitting down to starting stacks of 12,000. Levels will last (20) minutes throughout the evening, with registration open through Level 8 (and the break that follows). At the end of registration, players will have the opportunity to add-on for $40 (receiving an additional 15,000 chips).
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).
