Tuesday, July 27th: Bursch Tops Seven-Way Chop Of "Final Table Finish," No Leaderboard Shifts To Note

ICYMI: With the Player of the Month leaderboard taking most of the headlines, we shouldn't lose sight of the impressive numbers that each tournament attracts.  Monday night's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD) is the "hidden gem," of the weekly tournament schedule, offering payouts that are unheard of (for daily events).  Last night's installment saw registration close with (130) entries, and an official prize pool of $27,300.  With first place scheduled to take home over $10,000, the competitive buzz could be felt across the poker room floor.  

Because of those strong payouts, players were open to talking deal early, with the action ending in a seven-way chop.  Edward Burch (Daytona Beach, FL) took down first place in the chop, with official results from the tournament listed below:
