Tuesday, June 6th: Seth Medoff Tops "Final Table Finish" Chop, Takes Over First Place On The Leaderboard!

 ICYMI: Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD) has peaked player's interest for different reasons, one of which is the healthy payouts offered each week.  If the tournament is played down to an outright winner, we are looking at a first place prize north of $15,000 (which is unheard of in a single-day recurring tournament).  When the tournament is chopped, like it was last night, there is the ability for everyone involved to walk away with nice scores.  

Yesterday's tournament saw registration close with (183) entries, and an official prize pool of $38,430.  Once the final table bubble burst (which was also the money bubble), the remaining players agreed to a chop, with the official details of the deal listed below:

1. Seth Medoff (Pompano Beach, FL) $5,555
2. Daniel Miller (Pompano Beach, FL) $5,471
3. Lawrence Klur (Boynton Beach, FL) $5,471
4. Roy Cohen (Boca Raton, FL) $5,332
5. Donald Williams (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $4,745
6. Michael Laufer (Boca Raton, FL) $3,141
7. Herbert Souza (Coconut Creek, FL) $3,110
8. Charles Bury (Boca Raton, FL) $3,017
9. Omar Sader (Pompano Beach, FL) $2,588

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.

Monday, July 5th: After A Great Holiday Weekend, "Final Table Finish" Returns, Offering Players A Chance At A Five-Figure First Place Prize!

ICYMI: As many of us were celebrating the holiday, a group of players were competing for another Isle Casino Pompano Park tournament title.  Sunday's $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD) attracted a total of (112) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $11,200.  A total of (14) players were scheduled to see a return on investment, with action playing down to a seven-handed final table.  At that point, those remaining agreed to a deal, with everyone earning at least $823.  James Powers (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) took home first place money in the deal, and the 16.53 leaderboard points that came along.  Official results from the event are listed below:

1. James Powers (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,653
2. Alberto Scuderi (Pompano Beach, FL) $1,590
3. Seth Elovitz (Pompano Beach, FL) $1,527

14. Rodger Graves (Hollywood, FL) $263

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
• Alternates and late entries will start with a full stack
• Levels will last (20) minutes

Sunday, July 4th: Holiday Weekend Expected To Culminate With Another Successful Tournament, "Monster Stack" Gets Underway At 3:00PM

ICYMI: The holiday weekend was bound to provide players with some impressive tournament fields, and for those in last night's $100 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD), that means healthy payouts.  The $13,875 prize pool was made up of (185) entries, with (24) earning a return on their initial investment.  

We saw familiar names book another Isle Casino Pompano Park tournament score, including Brian Dunn, Andrew Daire, Edgard Mendes, David Inselberg, and Pedro Palacio.  All of those names would fall short of the final table, which concluded in an eight-way deal.  Andrew Blake added another win to his resume, one which already consisted of a major title in this poker room.  Rounding out the top three, were Danilo Parada and Damien Simon, with full results from the tournament listed below:

ICYMI: The tournament numbers at the Isle Casino Pompano Park have been super impressive as of late, with last night's $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) continuing the trend.  The tournament attracted a field of (149) entries, which equated to a prize pool of $17,135, over three times the posted guarantee.  Seth Medoff (Pompano Beach, FL) is a name that has been listed on the blog with frequency (over the past few months), having hit his tournament stride.  He topped a five-way deal that ended last night's action, earning $2,791 for his efforts, along with 24.27 leaderboard points.  When you add those points to those earned the night prior, you find Medoff atop the July leaderboard (with a long ways to go).  Official results from last night's tournament are listed below:

Tournaments: Saturday's 6:00pm tournament is one of the most popular on the schedule, as it offers an incredibly affordable buy-in, that always sees some great returns.  The $100 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) event has consistently crushing the posted guarantee, as the prize pool reaches five-figures on a weekly basis.  

The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 12,000 chips, and levels that last (20) minutes throughout the event.  Registration is open through Level 8, allowing for almost three hours of play, prior to the window closing for the night.

Friday, July 2nd: July Tournament Schedule Starts With Record Breaking Field, As Race For Player Of The Month Resets Once Again!!!

ICYMI: When this past Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD) had a record-breaking field, it looks like it was just a sign of things to come.  First up on the July tournament scheduled, was the $150 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD).  With just over half of the buy-in going towards the prize pool (one-third goes to bounties), the idea of eclipsing $10,000 seemed to be a stretch.  We had seen Thursday events come close to that number, but last night's installment had a prize pool that finally eclipsed the five-figures.  

Registration for the event closed with a total of (172) players, and had an official prize pool of $11,180.  A total of (22) players would earn a piece of the prize pool, with the evening's action ending in a seven-way deal.  Isle Casino Pompano Park tournament veteran Robert Leff took home first place money in the deal, and quickly goes to the top of the monthly leaderboard.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Robert Leff (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,367
2. Marc Roth (Plantation, FL) $1,364
3. Archibald Barrant (Wellington, FL) $1,306
4. Pedro Palacio (Coconut Creek, FL) $1,181
5. Dennis Gilman (Pompano Beach, FL) $1,122
6. John Miller (New York City, NY) $1,006

New In July:

Tuesday, June 29th: Andre Bryan Tops Record "Final Table Finish" Field, Deonarine Itwaru Wins June's Player of the Month!!!

ICYMI: Players in the South Florida poker community already knew how good the $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD) was, but last night the event went to new heights.  The tournament attracted a record breaking field of (190) entries, and had an official prize pool of $39,900.  Those numbers meant that first place was scheduled to walk away with over $15,000, a number just unheard of, for a recurring tournament.  

With the payouts so top heavy, it was no surprise to see the tournament conclude in a multi-way chop, with the top six players all walking away with over $4,099.  Andre Bryan took home the lion's share of the chop, earning $9,353 for first place.  The leaderboard points that came along with the finish were significant, but not enough to see him crack the top ten.  Official results from last night's event are listed below:

1. Andre Bryan (Pembroke Pines, FL) $9,353
2. Michael Laufer (Boca Raton, FL) $7,029
3. Robert Leff (Coconut Creek, FL) $5,730
4. Nancy Birnbaum (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $4,565
5. David Inselberg (Boca Raton, FL) $4,336
6. Wilson Pimentel (Did Not Report) $4,099
7. Gary Fitzgerald (Miami, FL) $2,394
8. Curtis Keld (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,197
9. Brandon Schwartz (North Miami, FL) $1,197

With Monday's results now official, the standings for June's Player of the Month are set as well.  After a strong final ten days of the month, Deonarine Itwaru takes home the extra $2,000, with the rest of the top ten shown below:

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.

Monday, June 28th: Roy Cohen Wins "Monster Stack" Outright, As The Player Of The Month Race Goes Down To The Final Event!!

ICYMI: With just two events remaining in the month, leaderboard points are at a premium, which is why it's no surprise to see an event play down to an outright winner.  It should be remembered, that the official leaderboard points from each tournament, are determined by the end result of the tournament (in correlation to deals that are made).  So while a chop may seem beneficial in terms of dollars, it may be better suited for players to try and win outright, and earn even more points.  Last night was exactly that case, as action in the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD) played down to an outright winner.  Roy Cohen was able to best Roman Ojeda during heads-up play, and ended up taking home $4,087 (along with 40.87 leaderboard points).  That result now sees Cohen just outside the top ten on the monthly leaderboard, with today's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD) remaining on the schedule.

The "Monster Stack" saw registration close with a total of (148) players, which equated to an official prize pool of $14,800 (almost five-times the posted guarantee).  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Roy Cohen (Boca Raton, FL) $4,087
2. Roman Ojeda (West Palm Beach, FL) $2,590
3. Joshua Martinez (Boca Raton, FL) $1,524
4. Amy Conner (Deerfield Beach, FL) $925
5. John Marzulli (Coconut Creek, FL) $718
