Sunday, July 18th: Saturday's Field Eclipses (200) Entries, As Tournament Continue To Attract Record Numbers!

ICYMI: There have been numerous tournament fields that flirted with eclipsing the (200) entry mark (post re-open), so it should come as no surprise, that Saturday's $100 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) did just that.  The event's registration closed with (205) entries, and a $15,375 prize pool, which was scheduled to be spread across (26) spots.

With the final table payouts so impressive, players were more amenable to a deal, which occurred between the final six players.  Robert Leff continued the trend of Isle Pompano Park tournament veterans seeing success this week, earning $2,426 for first place.  The 32.35 leaderboard points that Leff earned, put him back in the running, with the race coming down the home stretch.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
