Jorge Masvidal stands to make a pretty hefty April bonus on Saturday if his cards land right. Masvidal (25-8 MMA, 2-1 UFC), who fights Pat Healy (31-17 MMA, 0-3 UFC) later this month at UFC on FOX 11, is vying for another type of performance bonus on Saturday when he competes in the finals of a World Poker Tour event with $500,000 in payouts. “First place would be, like, $200,000 or $180,000, something like that,” Masvidal told MMAjunkie. The tournament, a “Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em” competition, takes place at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Masvidal said he shied away from the televised tournament on April 16 with a buy-in of $3,500. And, lest he forget, he’s got a fight on April 19 at Orlando, Fla.’s Amway Center
