Thursday, February 7th: As The Weekend Arrives, Two Staple Recurring Tournaments Headline Day's Schedule

ICYMI: Wednesday's tournament schedule began at 11:00am, with the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor," which had a $3,000 guarantee.  After registration closed with (30) entries, the official prize pool would fall directly on the number, meaning three players were scheduled to win a $1,000 prize.  With six players remaining at the final table, an ICM deal was agreed to, with the results of the chop listed below:
  1. Michael Weinberg (Coral Springs, FL) $659
  2. Gerald Hertz (Pompano Beach, FL) $533
  3. Davis Oshry (Boca Raton, FL) $476
  4. Harry Silver (Boynton Beach, FL) $466
  5. Raymond Meyer (Boca Raton, FL) $450
  6. Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) $416
The 6:00pm time slot hosted an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, which boasted a $1,500 guaranteed prize pool.  Registration for the tournament closed with (31) entries in the field, and after optional add-ons were included into the prize pool, the official number would close at $2,105.  Four spots were scheduled to get paid, and after two in-the-money eliminations, a heads up deal was agreed to (between Mitch Davie and Erik Guzman).  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Mitch Davie (Pompano Beach, FL) $758
  2. Erik Guzman (Miami, FL) $757
  3. Kenny Gunner (Pallmall, TN) $358
  4. Andrew Daire (Boca Raton, FL) $232
Tournaments: Two "staple" tournaments of the recurring schedule highlight Thursday's schedule, beginning at 11:00am, with the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack." The player-friendly event is structured with 25,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  This tournament has a history of attracted nice sized fields, with today's installment expected nothing less.

The "Monster Stack" is followed at 6:00pm, by a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Bounty" event.  It should be noted, that this tournament is not the "turbo bounty" that runs on Sunday's, as players get extended levels of (20) minutes (along with the 20,000 unit starting stacks).  Registration is also open through Level 8, not the ten levels that the turbo allows.


Promotions: The high hands will run from 9:00am-12:00am, with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  

It should also be noted that players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand.  The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).

From 12:00am-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.

After surviving an all-in on the bubble, Joel Lumpkins (Lauderhill, FL) was able to spin his stack up, and found himself in the middle of that pack, when the final table started.  Once the final table got underway though, he trended steadily downward, and returned from the most recent break with just four big blinds.   He was not able to find himself a double, and would be eliminated in 7th place, earning $1,970 for his efforts.  This was Joel's first recorded cash since last June, and helped bring his lifetime earnings above $19,000.

Scott Levitt (Delray Beach, FL) 9th Place - $1,550

"It's been a while," Scott Levitt (Delray Beach, FL) said to start the day, referencing his gap between scores here at the Isle.  While he came into the day as the overall chip leader, the cards just didn't quite cooperate with him today, as he earns $1,550 for his ninth place finish.

Total Entries: 182
Players Remaining: 9

Of the (34) players that returned for today's Day 2, Robert Christensen was dead last in chips, but made his way to the final table.

To say Robert Christensen's (Homosassa, FL) run to the final table was a surprising one, would have to be an understatement...considering he came into Day 2 with the shortest stack (30,000).  Christensen was able to find an early double, and continued the upward trend from there.  Today's cash is Robert's first since 2014, when he finished third in a "Seniors 50+" event ($2,624).  While he may have fallen short of his ultimate goal, Robert has to be pleased with the $1,360 cash for tenth place.

Joel Lumpkins (Lauderhill, FL) is all smiles, after doubling up through Myles German, as he now sits with 190,000.

We passed Table 3 just as there was an all-in (Joel Lumpkins) and a call (Myles German), with the board reading K K♣ J♣ 9.  Lumpkins quickly tabled K 9, having turned a full house, with German rolling over Q10♠ (turning the straight).  Regardless of the river, Joel was doubling up to 190,000, while German saw his stack almost cut in half.

Joel Lumpkins - 190,000 (23bb)
Myles German - 116,000 (14bb)
