Monday, January 11th: Scott Jaffa Tops The Chop Of Sunday's "Monster Stack," $300 High Hands Headline The Start Of The Week

ICYMI: How did the third leg of the "Weekend Swing" do...you ask?  Things continued on as expected...maybe we just shouldn't be as surprised anymore.  The $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD) attracted (77) total entries, which is the largest field we've seen in that tournament in months (that's a common trend we're seeing each weekend, as the popularity of each weekend tournament increases).  A total of ten players were scheduled to earn a piece of the $7,700 prize pool, and when three remained at the final table, a deal was struck.  Official results from the event are listed below:
  1. Scott Jaffa (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,817
  2. Jonathan Hayes (Belcamp, MD) $1,801
  3. John Marzulli (Coconut Creek, FL) $1,441
  4. Raul Jimenez-Diaz (Miami, FL) $635
  5. Gregg Weiss (Delray Beach, FL) $481
  6. Joseph Kearns (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $385
  7. Scott Bailey (Loxahatchee, FL) $339
  8. Jairo Velazquez (Sunrise, FL) $308
  9. Vladimir Grechnikov (Toms River, NJ) $262
  10. Darkhan Botabayev (Sunny Isles, FL) $231
