Tuesday, September 21st: Omar Sader Tops three-Way Deal, And Finds Himself Atop The Leaderboard Rankings!!!

ICYMI: With the incredibly healthy payouts that are offered during the $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD), there are going to be nights when the tournament can't be settled prior to the poker room's close.  In that case, if players are unable to agree to a deal that ends the event, players bag their chips for a Day 2 (as was the case this week).  After the tournament attracted (189) entries, players were focused on the $39,312 prize pool, that was spread across (9) pay spots.  With first place scheduled to take home over $15,000, there were certain players that had their goals set on an outright win.  The final five players bagged their chips and returned to action on Tuesday, and after two eliminations, the remaining players agreed to a deal.  Omar Sader (Pompano Beach, FL) returned to the winner's circle, and in addition to the $10,997 he took home for first place, the 52.87 leaderboard points helped him climb to the top of those rankings.  Official results from Monday's tournament are listed below, along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard:

1. Omar Sader (Pompano Beach, FL) $10,997
2. Jonathan Gordon (Coral Springs, FL) $8,235

Monday, September 20th: "Final Table Finish" Ready To Offer Healthy Payouts, And Player Of The Month Leaderboard Points!

ICYMI: Sunday's $400 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) once again showed players, why it's one of the best recurring events in the area.  The field grew to (95) entries by registration's close, with over $10,000 of the $33,060 prize pool going to first place.  As afternoon turned to evening, the final table continued on, until the point that play was four-handed.  The remaining players then agreed to a four-way deal, with Raminder Singh (Boynton Beach, FL) taking home first place money.  Singh added over $7,300 to his lifetime earnings, and another first place to his resume (which is about as impressive as an "amateur" could have).  Official results from the tournament are listed below, with an updated leaderboard as well:

1. Raminder Singh (Boynton Beach, FL) $7,384

12. Philip Whitaker (Miami, FL) $827

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):

1. 40%
2. 18%
3. 10%
4. 7%
5. 7%
6. 6%

8. 3%
9. 3%

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

• Late and re-entries for the first (8) levels

Sunday, September 19th: Gilberto Maakaroun Tops Three-Way Deal, But It's Pedro Palacio Climbing The Leaderboard!

ICYMI: Saturday's $130 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) has been a great source of leaderboard points, as total entries play a large part in the formula.  Last night's tournament eclipsed the century mark, with the tournament clock showing (112) entries at the end of registration.  The $11,200 prize pool was scheduled to be spread across fourteen payspots, and would follow posted payouts until the official results reached third place. A three-handed deal was agreed to at the final table, between Gilberto Maakaroun, Carlos Vazquez, and Pedro Palacio.  While this was Gilberto's first cash of the month, the third place finish for Palacio helped him enter the top five.  Official results from last night's tournament are listed below:

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).

ICYMI: Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD) was the culmination of a successful holiday weekend, with the tournament crushing the posted guarantee.  Registration for the tournament closed with (132) entries, and an official prize pool of $27,456.  With only the final table making the money, payouts were as healthy as could be, with first place scheduled to take home over $10,000.  Action played through the money bubble, and after Michael Melamed's departure in fourth place, the remaining players agreed to a three-way chop.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

Monday, September 6th: Neal Corcoran Wins $20,000 GTD Event Outright, With The "Final Table Finish" Back To Crush!

ICYMI: Yesterday's $400 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) did not attract the expected field, but still eclipsed the healthy guarantee that was posted.  Registration for the event closed with (71) entries, and an official prize pool of $24,708.  A total of nine players were scheduled to reach the money, with action playing down to an outright winner.  Neal Corcoran bested Santo Biddix during heads-up play, and earned $8,647 in the process, along with 24.85 leaderboard points.  Official results from last night's action 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):

1. 40%
2. 18%
3. 10%
4. 7%
5. 7%
6. 6%
7. 6%
8. 3%
9. 3%

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.
