Sunday, August 8th: Irwin Block Takes Hold Of Top Leaderboard Spot, $400 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) Takes Center Stage!
ICYMI: Those that have been following the tournament action, understand that one solid result can immediately put one in contention for the Player of the Month leaderboard. What better month to run hot, than when the top prize is a $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat! There truly is the opportunity for someone to turn a few buy-ins, into millions of dollars! Tyler Gray had recorded one cash in August, but made his presence known last night, after taking home first place money in the $130 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD).
The event attracted a total of (143) entries, and had an official prize pool of $14,300. A total of eighteen players were scheduled to cash in the tournament, with action playing down to a four-way chop. Tyler Gray took home $2,519 for the first place finish, and earned 25.19 leaderboard points. The real movement was made by Irwin Block, who took home third place money ($2,022), and used 20.22 points to jump into the first spot!!!
