Sunday, August 15th: Devin Batista Wins Saturday's Tournament Outright, With $400 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) Headlining Today's Action!!

ICYMI: Saturday's $130 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) continued it's recent form, absolutely crushing the posted guarantee.  Registration for the tournament closed with a total of (123) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $12,300.  A total of (16) players were scheduled to reach the money, with action playing down to an outright winner.  If there is anything to be learned by last night's tournament, it's the value of playing out a tournament to it's completion.  The leaderboard points that are scheduled (without a chop being agreed to) are so strong for the eventual winner, that Devin Batista went from not listed on the leaderboard at all...to fourth place!!!  Official results are listed below, with an updated leaderboard to be published this afternoon:
