Sunday, June 11th: Another Saturday Night Classic, We Roll Out The Red Carpet For A New Event ($400 No Limit Hold'em $20,000 GTD)!

ICYMI: Saturday's $100 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) has always been a tournament that offered great value, but over the past few weeks, it's entered a different stratosphere.  Last night's installment saw registration close with (186) entries, leading experts to believe that we will see a field that eclipses (200) entries, in the near future.  The $13,950 prize pool was scheduled to be spread across (24) pay spots, with first to get just over $3,500.  The evening's action played down to a five-handed final table, at which point a deal was agreed to.  Roman Ojeda would take home first place money in the chop ($2,063), along with 27.51 leaderboard points.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
