Tournaments: With the success of Sunday's $400 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD), it was clear that there was a place on the weekly schedule for a larger buy-in event. That being said, Sunday's in June now offer a $600 No Limit Hold'em event with a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool. The event is structured with 20,000 chip starting stacks, (25) minute levels, and has registration open through Level 8 (and the short break that follows.
What is a "last longer" in a poker tournament (following definition provided from a recent web search): Last longer is a side wager between tournament players, on who will be last to get knocked out. Whoever last the longer wins the wager, and any prizes agreed upon.
It's a pretty common occurrence among familiar faces in the tournament poker world. The Isle Casino Pompano Park Poker Room is "raising the ante" so to say, as they introduce a "last longer" option for the $600 No Limit Hold'em ($30,000 GTD) on Sunday (June 18th). Players in the event will have a choice to enter into a Last Longer with other tournament attendees, separate from the $600 tournament buy-in.
