The "November $100,000" Begins Tomorrow, With The First Pair Of Flights



The November Tournament Calendar is highlighted by four "headlining" events, the second of which begins this Wednesday (November 8th).  The $175 No Limit Hold'em tournament carries with it a $100,000 guarantee, and boasts (8) starting flights (over the course of four days).  The action resumes on Sunday (November 12th), as those players that were fortunate to bag chips, return to play down to a winner.

The tournament is structured with 15,000 unit starting stacks, and will be played with (25) minute levels throughout.  Registration is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows) for each flight, which is approximately 2:40pm for the afternoon flights (which begin at 11:00am), and 9:40pm for the evening flights (which begin at 6:00pm).  The chip lead bonus returns for this event, as the leader from each flight will earn a seat into the $340 No Limit Hold'em Package Satellite on November 29th (11:00am).  The satellite is guaranteeing (10) packages into the $2,500 No Limit Hold'em Single-Day Series ($100,000 GTD), and the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Isle Classic Event #1 ($300,000 GTD).

A similar event to this was run in August, and had a $100,000 guarantee, but was a $150 buy-in.  The tournament attracted a total of 1,126 entries, and closed with an official prize pool of $129,400.

Monday, November 6th: Recapping "November $200,000," Looking Ahead To A New Week

ICYMI: Yesterday afternoon saw the return of the (96) players that bagged chips for Day 2 of the November $200,000 ($360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD), with action scheduled to play down to a winner.  Things got off a to quick start, as the eliminations were fast and furious to start the day.  Just over half of the returning field would reach the money, but players like Michael Mizrachi, Tony Ruberto, Tom Gity, Carlos Loving, and Joseph Duchman all fell short of cashing.

The money bubble brought one of the first dramatic moments of the day, as Scott Zakheim (Davie, FL) lost an all-in on the stone bubble, that would leave him with less than one big blind.  Luckily for Scott, another player would be eliminated from another table, allowing him to sneak into the money with just a few antes.  The field would then go from (55) players to (18) in less than three hours, as the landscape for the "homestretch" began to take shape.

There were numerous notable names remaining at the final two tables, with different potential storylines in play.  The deep runs that fell short of the final table belonged to players like Steve Karp, Francklin Michel, Alton Mendleson, Bryce McVay, Matt Lambrecht, and Antonio Campbell.  The final table would begin nine-handed as Lambrecht and Campbell were eliminated simultaneously, with action continuing as scheduled.  Richard Kirsch (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) was the first to exit the final table, followed by Andrew Thompson (Maui, HI) and Linda Lipkins (Boca Raton, FL).

The remaining six players continued play, but after Bobby Leff turned a stack of three big blinds into 1,800,000 (fifteen bigs), the talks of a chop began.  The numbers were quickly agreed to, with Nagui Yassa declared the tournament's winner (with official results posted below):
  1. Nagui Yassa (Deerfield Beach, FL) $20,750
  2. Bobby Leff (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $20,477
  3. Steve Moreno (Miami, FL) $19,897
  4. Kenneth Bruno (Lake Worth, FL) $19,311
  5. Diane Linke (Boynton Beach, FL) $18,045
  6. Jamie Wiegrefe (Coconut Grove, FL) $14,820

The evening tournament (6:00pm) sees the big numbers return, as the action begins for the $130 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD).  The event is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the tournament.
