Hard Rock, Isle have fall poker events

The Isle has its second annual Deep Stack Championships. Players start with more chips than usual for a tournament, which better players like because they aren't crippled if they get one bad break on a big hand.

At 1:30 p.m. Sept. 28 is a $100 bounty tournament, with a $30,000 guarantee. Players start with 7,000 chips. Buy-in is $300.

At 1:30 p.m. Sept. 30 is a preliminary event, with a $50,000 guarantee. Players start with 10,000 chips. Buy-in is $550.

There are two opening days for the main event. They are at 2 p.m. Oct. 3 and 1 p.m. Oct. 4 for the $150,000 guarantee event. Buy-in is $900 and players start with 20,000 chips.

The Day 1A and Day 1B players resume at 1 p.m. Oct. 5, and the tournament will run to Oct. 6 if they don't finish on Oct. 5. Players can enter only one of the opening days, as per Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel wagering law, said Mike Smith, Isle director of poker operations. (The Hard Rock, exempt from PMW, lets players enter both days.)

A $20 add-on will net you 2,000 chips in all tournaments.

Meanwhile, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino will have its Fall Open, a series of XX tournaments Oct. 2-12.

No. 1: At 11 a.m. Oct. 2 is a $150 tournament with a $25,000 prize pool.
