ICYMI: The Player of the Month leaderboard resets, and while competitors aren't battling for a WSOP Main Event seat, there is a new wrinkle that may be of interest. October offers a weekly leaderboard, in addition to the monthly, offering $500 to first place and $300 to the runner up (the week runs Thursday through Tuesday events). This week's rankings start with last night's $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD), which more than doubled the posted guarantee. Registration for the tournament closed with (88) entries, and an official prize pool of $10,376. A total of (11) players would reach the money, with the evening's action playing down to a three-handed final table. At that point, a deal was struck, with Vittorio Farcicelli (Boynton Beach, FL) taking home first place money. Official results from the tournament are listed below, along with an updated leaderboard:
- Vittorio Faricelli (Boynton Beach, FL) $2,500
- Jonathan Marcu (Boca Raton, FL) $2,179
- David Singer (Boynton Beach, FL) $2,178
- Jonathan Ounjian (Deerfield Beach, FL) $880
- Jeremy Ehrke (Pompano Beach, FL) $671
- Shawn Farmer (Opa Locka, FL) $537
- Marc Roth (Plantation, FL) $446
- Arun Dabas (Coral Springs, FL) $376
- Felipe Martinez (Stuart, FL) $346
- Neal Corcoran (Stuart, FL) $322
- Michael Laufer (Boca Raton, FL) $301
October Weekly Leaderboard (October 1st-October 5th)
