Sunday, October 17th: Jonathan Marcu Leading The Monthly Leaderboard, As We Reach The Halfway Point Of October

ICYMI: Saturday's tournament schedule hosted a $130 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD), giving players the opportunity to see a nice return on investment.  The event's affordable buy-in attracts players of all skill level, and last night we saw the cream rise to the top.  The final eleven players were scheduled to reach the money, with action playing down to a four-handed final table.  At that point, the remaining players agreed to a deal, topped by two notable names (Irwin Block and Pedro Palacio).  Official results from the tournament are listed below, with an updated weekly leaderboard, as well as Player of the Month leaderboard:
