Saturday, July 17th: Another Isle Casino Pompano Park Tournament Veteran Assumes Top Spot On The Leaderboard, After Winning Friday's $5,000 GTD (In A Three-Way Deal)!

ICYMI: The Player of the Month leaderboard has added additional motivation for players, not only for the extra cash at the end of the month, but for bragging rights amongst tournament regulars.  When Raminder Singh took over the top spot on the leaderboard, many assumed that he would be up there for a long time, considering his recent form.  It only ended up lasting for (24) hours, as another Isle Casino Pompano Park veteran surpassed him, after taking home first place money in last night's tournament.

The $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) did not disappoint, attracting a total of (145) entries, and more than tripling the posted guarantee ($16,675).  A total of (19) players saw a return on investment, with the evening's action playing down to a three-handed final table.  At that point, a deal was struck, with David Albertson earning first place money ($3,335).  In addition to the money, Albertson grabbed hold of 29.00 leaderboard points, enough to put him atop the board.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
