ICYMI: Raminder Singh labeled himself a "True Amateur," and while those that know him understand the humor behind the title, he truly is a "player of the people." Raminder does not mind the amount of the buy-in, number of entries, or how prestigious the tournament is...if he feels like playing, he is going to play. Just a few days removed from a RunGood Main Event win at Coconut Creek ($600 No Limit Hold'em), Singh was back in action last night, and found himself in a familiar spot (atop the leaderboard).
Last night's $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) attracted a total of (108) entries, and had an official prize pool of $13,176. The field was a "who's who" of South Florida tournament poker, with many of those familiar names reaching the money. The evening's action played through the money bubble (14 players reached the money), and eventually ended in a four-way deal, topped by Raminder Singh. Raminder earned $2,680 in the deal, along with 21.97 leaderboard points, which puts him in the top three. Official results from the tournament are listed below:
