The Isle Casino Pompano Park shuffled its poker schedule this week, adding two inexpensive multi-table tournaments.

“We’re just trying something new, and we think there are players interested,” said Mike Smith, the Isle’s director of poker operations.

The new $40 tournament is 2 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays. Players start with 1,500 chips, and can add another 1,000 for $10 more. The first tournament was Wednesday and drew 22 entrants.

The $40 entry fee is the second lowest in Broward County, with only the $25 daily at Dania Jai-Alai being lower.

Also new: A $230 tournament at 2 p.m. Tuesdays with $10,000 in prize money, the Isle’s first attempt at a weekly guarantee tourney.

Meanwhile, the $40 one-table “turbo” tournaments, which the Isle started about three months ago, have been “very, very popular,” Smith said. These take about an hour to play.

The Isle also has tournaments with higher buy-ins, including a $440 event set for Aug. 17 and the Isle Open Deepstacks events from Sept. 28 to Oct. 6, with a main event entry of $900.
More poker players are registering in advance online, Smith said.
