ICYMI: Thursday's $200 No Limit Hold'em ($15,000 GTD) is becoming a focus for all tournament players that frequent the Isle Casino Pompano Park, as the value of double leaderboard points rises. We've seen Zaki Lichaa distance himself from his competitors, a good reason why being those double points (and his win in last Thursday's event). Last night was another great example, as Ian Cohen takes first place in a hesds-up deal, and is now in direct contention for the monthly title (vaulted to third place on the leaderboard). The tournament saw registration close with (76) entries, and an official prize pool of $16,060 (scheduled to be paid out across ten spots). Official results from the tournament are listed below, along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard:
- Ian Cohen (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $4,716
- Peter Cleven (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $3,876
- Erik Bartels (Boca Raton, FL) $1,959
- Manuel Jo (Miami, FL) $1,325
- Konstantin Tourevski (Port Washington, NY) $1,004
- Nicholas Velentzas (Pompano Beach, FL) $803
- Scott Greenberg (Delray Beach, FL) $707
- Daniel Miller (Pompano Beach, FL) $642
- Alexander Obed (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $546
- Ryan Estrada (Sunrise, FL) $482
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).
