Monday, November 11th: Recapping A Succesful Howard Frank Memorial Event, And Saluting Our Veterans With A "Galaxy Of Stars" Event!!!

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule hosted one of the most popular events of the year, with the 11th Annual Howard Frank Memorial Tournament descending on the Isle Casino Pompano Park for the second time.  This year's installment was an event greater success than last, as registration closed with a total of (366) entries.  That meant that (37) players were going to reach the money, but all eyes were on making the final table, and earning a paid trip to the Venetian in Las Vegas (along with entry into an $1,100 No Limit Hold'em event while there).  There were some recognizable names to cash in the event, as well as players that came from all over the country.  Listed below, are the official results of the 11th Annual Howard Frank Memorial Tournament (congrats to David Marshall of Los Angeles, who took home first place!!!):
