Friday, September 17th: "Double Green Chip Bounty" End In Heads-Up Chop, With Friday's $5,000 Guarantee Looking To Soar!

ICYMI: Thursday's $180 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) kicked off a new weekend of tournament poker, and provided another opportunity for players to earn those valuable leaderboard points.  For the first time in recent memory, the tournament did not eclipse the (75) entry mark, but the guarantee was surpassed nonetheless.  Registration for the tournament closed with a total of (59) entries, and an official prize pool of $5,369 (bounty pool of $2,700).  A total of eight players would reach the money, with action playing down to a heads-up final table.  At that point, the final two players agreed to a deal, with each earning $1,535 (second place took one dollar less).  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

  1. Jacque Doucette (Lake Worth, FL) $1,535

  8. Marc Roth (Plantation, FL) $193

Tournaments: With the arrival of the weekend, comes the $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD)...the tournament that started this incredible tournament resurgence at 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).

6:00pm - $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD)

ICYMI: Sunday's $400 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) continues to eclipse the posted guarantee each weekend, offering up some impressive payouts in the process.  Last night's installment attracted a total of (88) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $30,624.  Of those entries, (11) players were scheduled to reach the money, with action playing down to a four-handed final table.  At that point Luis Dominguez Nunez (Miami, FL) held a majority of the remaining chips, and received $8,077 in a four-way deal.  The storyline was regarding the second place finisher (Scott Hecker), whose 14.32 leaderboard points put him atop the monthly rankings.  Official 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 nine-handed):

  2. 18%

Saturday, September 4th: Raminder Singh Continues To Crush, Adds Another Isle Tournament Win To His Resume

ICYMI: Raminder Singh labeled himself a "True Amateur," and while those that know him understand the humor behind the title, he truly is a "player of the people."  Raminder does not mind the amount of the buy-in, number of entries, or how prestigious the tournament is...if he feels like playing, he is going to play.  Just a few days removed from a RunGood Main Event win at Coconut Creek ($600 No Limit Hold'em), Singh was back in action last night, and found himself in a familiar spot (atop the leaderboard).

Last night's $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) attracted a total of (108) entries, and had an official prize pool of $13,176.  The field was a "who's who" of South Florida tournament poker, with many of those familiar names reaching the money.  The evening's action played through the money bubble (14 players reached the money), and eventually ended in a four-way deal, topped by Raminder Singh. Raminder earned $2,680 in the deal, along with 21.97 leaderboard points, which puts him in the top three.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Raminder Singh (Delray Beach, FL) $2,680
  2. Celso Leroy (Delray Beach, FL) $2,273
  3. Jennifer Aguilar (Mineola, NY) $2,028

Tuesday, August 31st: If You Were Looking For Dramatic Finishes, Search No Further, As Nathan Schwartz Books A Trip To Las Vegas (For WSOP Main Event)!

ICYMI: For those that have been following the Player of the Month leaderboard, it's common knowledge that one event can drastically change the landscape towards the top.  Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD) was the final opportunity for players to try and eclipse Nigel Murray, who stood atop the rankings with 77.55 points.  

The table was set, after the field grew to (195) entries, which was one of the largest we've seen since this event's introduction to the schedule.  With the $40,560 prize pool to be spread across the final table, payouts were drawing a lot of attention, once they were posted for players to see.  First place was scheduled to take home $16,223, and a healthy amount of leaderboard points.  Action played through the money bubble, with no sign of a chop in sight.  As the poker room's closing time grew closer, the final two players were left with a decision...agree to a chop, or return later in the evening (7:00pm) to wrap up the tournament.  They eventually chose to bag, and play until an outright winner was determined.  Nathan Schwartz ended up coming out on top, which could be one of the most significant tournament wins of his lifetime...as he not only earned over $16,000, but 78.00 leaderboard points!!!! That's .45 points more than Nigel Murray, and enough to take over the top spot on the leaderboard (with no events remaining)!  Schwartz has now booked himself a ticket to the 2021 WSOP $10,000 Main Event!!!  Official results from last night's tournament are listed below, with an official leaderboard as well:
  1. Nathan Schwartz (Boynton Beach, FL) $16,223
  2. Angelo Castaldi (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $7,301
  3. Jonathan Lasko (Hollywood, FL) $4,056
  4. Henry Behr (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $2,839
  5. Alan Santana (Davie, FL) $2,839
  6. Aldring Gomez (Hollywood Beach, FL) $2,434
  7. Roberto Desogos (Oakland Park, FL) $2,434
  8. Thomas Millward (Boca Raton, FL) $1,217
  9. Charles Bury (Boca Raton, FL) $1,217



Promotions: From 10:00am (the minute the doors open) until 11:00pm, $300 high hands will be awarded every (30) minutes.
