Tournament Results: $40K Guaranteed @ Dania Jai-Alai

Davie Player Wins $40,000 Poker Tournament at Dania
It turned out to be the toughest ticket to get in all of South Florida Saturday. Dania Jai-Alai staged its biggest poker tournament ever, a $40,000 guaranteed prize pool Texas Hold’em tournament with a $250.00 buy-in.
All 250 entries were sold by 8 pm, Friday night, but the players kept coming, some offering $350 to other players just to get a seat.
“We were taking a risk guaranteeing $40,000,” said Paula Lettiere, Dania’s senior staffer in the cardroom, “but I was confident the entire way that this would be the most successful tournament we ever had.”
When the tournament director gave the start signal at approximately 1 pm, all 25 tables were full, and the unlucky players that waited until Saturday could only hang over the rail and watch.
