Monday, June 21st: It's The Monday "Kickstart," Followed By The Ever-Popular $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD)

ICYMI: One way of judging the attractiveness of a tournament, is by knowing the players that play in said event.  When notable players are circling certain events on the schedule, then it's likely that those tournament offer up great value, great structure, or a combination of both.  Yesterday's $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD) is known to have a great structure, with the bloated starting stack that players sit down to.  If you look at the names that make up the official results, it's no doubt that this tournament is one of the favorites of the players.  

Yesterday's installment attracted a total of (110) players, with an $11,000 prize pool that was scheduled to be spread across fifteen pay-spots.  The early evening action concluded in a five-way deal, with everyone's favorite "poker amateur" taking home first place money.  Raminder Singh (Delray Beach, FL) is 6th on the "all-time" Isle Casino Pompano Park tournament poker rankings, with over $344,000 in lifetime earnings (just in our room alone).  Also included in the deal, were tournament notables Daniel Genachte, Jonathan Marcu, and Scott Bailey.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Raminder Singh (Delray Beach, FL) $2,000
2. Jonathan Marcu (Boca Raton, FL) $1,631
3. Daniel Genachte (Deerfield Beach, FL) $1,597

Tournaments: At 6:00pm this evening, the $250 No Limit Hold'em ($10,000 GTD) "Final Table Finish" returns, with a little wrinkle.  This particular tournament had such a good structure, that the final table action ran into the closing time of the poker room (players are then faced with chopping, or bagging for a Day 2).  To keep that from occurring, there will be some slight changes moving forward.

The event will be structured with 25,000 chip starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and open registration through Level 8 (and the break that follows).  The new format-wrinkle comes into play when discussing payouts, as the tournament will pay out just the final table, regardless of how many entries.  Exact payout percentages are as follows (final tables are now eight-handed):

1. 40%
2. 20%
3. 10%
4. 7%
5. 7%
6. 6%
7. 5%
8. 5%

Promotions: From 10:00am (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 10:00am-12:00pm time period.  If a player makes a straight flush in the 10:00am-10:30am qualifying period, and that is the best qualifying high hand from 10:00am-12:00pm, they will earn an extra $1,000 (in addition to the $300 they were awarded for the half-hour time period).

6:00pm: $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD)

• Players start with 25,000 in tournament chips
• Late and re-entries for the first (8) levels

Sunday, June 20th: Saturday's Tournament Field Breaks Records, With The "Monster Stack" Looming!
