ICYMI: The holiday weekend was bound to provide players with some impressive tournament fields, and for those in last night's $100 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD), that means healthy payouts. The $13,875 prize pool was made up of (185) entries, with (24) earning a return on their initial investment.
We saw familiar names book another Isle Casino Pompano Park tournament score, including Brian Dunn, Andrew Daire, Edgard Mendes, David Inselberg, and Pedro Palacio. All of those names would fall short of the final table, which concluded in an eight-way deal. Andrew Blake added another win to his resume, one which already consisted of a major title in this poker room. Rounding out the top three, were Danilo Parada and Damien Simon, with full results from the tournament listed below:
