ICYMI: Thursday's $180 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) provided players with a great opportunity to earn valuable leaderboard points, and try to catch Danilo Parada (who is running away with March's first place prize). Last night's tournament attracted a total of (45) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $4,095 (not including the bounty pool).

Anderson Patino and Pedro Palacio then agreed to a chop, with the former taking home first place money. Official results from the tournament are listed below, along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard:
- Anderson Patino (Miami, FL) $1,442

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.

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).

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).
