ICYMI: With the ability for so many players to make moves on the Player Of The Month Leaderboard, last night's $100 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) ended up breaking all-time records. The tournament saw registration close with (176) players...a number like none other we've seen, since the poker room's re-opening earlier this summer.
