The final tournament of the year began at 6:00pm, and was a $90 No Limit Hold'em event, which ran without it's usual ($1,500) guarantee (because of the holiday). That didn't deter players from showing up though, as the field closed with a total of (27) entries, and a prize pool of $2,049. There would be no chop to end 2018, as action played down to an outright winner, with Vicki Holmes (Boynton Beach, FL) earning $923 for the win. Official results from the tournament are listed below:
- Vicki Holmes (Boynton Beach, FL) $923
- Viola Pinney (Cape Canaveral, FL) $553
