Monday, December 14th: A New Week, But Same Great Action, And $300 High Hands (2:00PM-10:00PM)

ICYMI: Sunday's tournament schedule was headlined by a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack," which had a $3,000 guarantee.  Both Friday's and Saturday's tournaments doubled their posted guarantees, and their was little question whether we would see three-for-three this weekend.  The guarantee was met long before registration was even over, with the prize pool eventually closing at an even $6,000 (after a total of 60 entries).  Eight players were scheduled to reach the money, with action playing down to the point where play was three handed (at which point a chop was agreed to).  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Conelly Howard (Boca Raton, FL) $1,575

Tournaments: That's a wrap for the "weekend swing," with tournament players looking ahead to this Friday (as that's the next event on the schedule).  With two weeks left in the year, there is a lot of talk of what January's tournament schedule will look like (many beleive we will see the return of weekday/weeknight tournaments).

Promotions: Monday's could seem like a drag to some, but the Isle Poker Room is trying to make things a little "richer."  Players can look forward to $100 high hands from 11:00am-2:00pm, awarded every (30) minutes.  At 2:00pm, the money awarded grows, with $300 high hands every (30) minutes, up until 10:00pm (at which point things revert back to $100).

Sunday, December 13th: Reaching The Century Mark Once Again, $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD) Sunday's Headliner!

ICYMI: Last night's tournament was another great success, with the $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD) crushing the posted number.  After a slight dip in numbers last week, the Saturday evening event closed with exactly (100) entries, and an official prize pool of $7,500 (which is more than double the $3,000 guarantee).  Of those entries, (13) players were scheduled to reach the money, with a lot of familiar names still remaining after the bubble burst.  There was no deal-making last night, as Danilo Parada won the tournament outright, taking home $2,286 for his efforts.  The official results from the tournament are listed below:

Tournaments: Sunday's tournament got a boost last week, as the $130 No Limit Hold'em event added a $3,000 guarantee!!!

Promotions: The poker room doors open at 11:00am, with the high hand being awarded every (30) minutes.  The qualifying high hand for each half-hour will be awarded $100, with the promotion transitioning at 2:00pm.  From 2:00pm to 10:00pm, the high hand grows to $300, also awarded every (30) minutes (rollovers do not apply).

Monday, November 23rd: The "Weekend Swing" Finishes Up Strong, $300 High Hands Returning At 2:00PM

ICYMI: Sunday's daily tournament was a $130 No Limit Hold'em event, which did not carry a posted guarantee.  That did not deter the players though, as the numbers exceeded all expectations...with official details and results to be updated this afternoon.

Tournaments: The beginning of the week is tournament down-time, but with the short holiday week upon us, the Friday night $5,000 guarantee will be back before you know it!!! Until then, we will just have to think forward to this weekend...and the month of December (as some big changes are expected in regards to the tournament schedule).

Promotions: Tuesday's promotional schedule begins when the doors open (11:00am), with qualifying high hands being awarded $100 every (30) minutes. As always, the standard rules apply, meaning the high hands must be aces-full to qualify (using both hole cards, as one-card high hands no longer qualify). At 2:00pm, the day's "headlining" promotion then begins, awarding $300 to the qualifying high hand every (30) minutes. Standard high hand rules apply (there is no rollover for this particular promotion).
