Sunday, September 5th: $400 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) Headlines Sunday's Action, As Players Set The Pace For Leaderboard Race

ICYMI: Saturday's $130 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) is making it's case for the weekend's most popular tournament, as it consistently draws impressive numbers.  Last night's tournament saw registration close with (141) entries, and an official prize pool of $14,100 (almost three times the posted guarantee).  Eighteen players were scheduled to reach the money, with the action playing through the bubble, and down to heads-up play.  At that point, a deal was agreed to, with a mystery player accepting first place money.  The player, who we will reference as "DNR," took home $3,524 and 35.24 leaderboard points.  Official results from the event are listed below:
