Friday, April 30th: Nancy Birnbaum Looking To Cause "Trouble" On The Leaderboard, With Tonight's Tournament The Last Of The Month!

ICYMI: While it was a banner night for Vinicius Monteiro, Nancy Birnbaum's result was the headlining moment from last night's $150 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD).  The tournament was the second to last of the month, giving extra meaning for those looking to make moves on the Player Of The Month leaderboard.  Registration for the event closed with (129) entries, and an official prize pool of $14,835, which was scheduled to be paid out across (17) spots.  Action played down to the point that the final table was three-handed, with those remaining agreeing to a chop.  As mentioned above, Monteiro earned first place money in the deal, but Nancy's runner-up finish (and 23.25 leaderboard points), saw her move into the top three on the rankings.  Official results are listed below, which an updated leaderboard to be posted across the poker room's social media outlets:
