Monday, July 12th: Rodney Moret Takes Home Over $9,000 In Sunday's $400 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD), With The "Final Table Finish" Expected to Draw Similar Numbers!

ICYMI: Whenever a new tournament is added to the calendar, there is always a question about how it will succeed.  When the tournament has a $400 buy-in, the interest in the outcome is even higher.  Yesterday's $400 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) clearly peaked the interest of the local crowd, as the event ended up with a prize pool that more than doubled the guarantee.  Registration for the tournament closed with a total of (132) entries, and an official prize pool of $46,200.  A total of (17) players were scheduled to reach the money, with the evening's action ending in a six-way deal.  Rodney Moret walked away with the lion's share of the deal, collecting $9,100 for first place money.  Full results from the tournament are listed below:

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

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
7. Amy Conner (Deerfield Beach, FL) $750
8. David Ruthven (Pompano Beach, FL) $338
9. David Inselberg (Boca Raton, FL) $294
10. Christy Smith (Pompano Beach, FL) $250
11. Danilo Parada (Oakland Park, FL) $250
12. Kathleen Gale (Pompano Beach, FL) $250
13. Kenneth Fifer (Boca Raton, FL) $212
14. Harry Silver (Boca Raton, FL) $212
15. Roman Ojeda (West Palm Beach, FL) $212
16. Edward Russell (Pompano Beach, FL) $176
17. Daniele Condorelli (Pompano Beach, FL) $176

Tournaments: With the arrival of the weekend, comes the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD)...the tournament that started this incredible "re-introduction" of the Isle Casino Pompano Park poker room.  The cards get in the air at 6:00pm, with players sitting down to starting stacks of 15,000.  Levels will last (20) minutes throughout the evening, with registration open through Level 8 (and the break that follows).

Promotions: From 10:00am (the minute the doors open) to 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).  The 11:00pm-Close period will then see $100 high hands 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).

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.
