ICYMI: The $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD) has been exceeding expectation since it's introduction to the weekly schedule, but nobody could have predicted last night's turnout. The tournament saw registration close with a total of (143) players, and a prize pool of $30,030! With the specialized payout structure for the event (only places 1-8 make the money, regardless of how many entries), first place was scheduled to take home over $12,000. Those payouts ended up getting altered, with the ICM considerations just too strong to see the event play down to a winner. Steven Buckner (Margate, FL) took home first place money in the deal, worth $6,821. Official results from the tournament are listed below:
- Steven Buckner (Margate, FL) $6,821
- Federico Herrera (Argentina) $5,240
- Mark Guariglia (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $4,767
- Alexander Joseph (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $4,452
- Devin Brodman (Coconut Creek, FL) $3,944
- Richard Riviello (Penn Yan, NY) $1,802

- Lawrence Klur (Boynton Beach, FL) $1,502
