ICYMI: Tuesday's $160 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) was an important tournament for a few reasons, but the fact that it was the deciding event for the second-ever Weekly Leaderboard, was the detail that made the event stand out. A total of (45) entries showed on the tournament clock (at registration's end), which equated to an official prize pool of $5,490. Two installments of a new tournament, and two guarantees surpassed...it's definitely a recipe for making sure the event sticks on the calendar. Of those entries, a total of nine players reached the money, with action playing down to an outright winner. Ian Cohen (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) walked away in first place, earning himself $2,197 (and 18.01 leaderboard points). While that wasn't enough to put him in the top two of the weekly leaderboard, Cohen is not in contention for the monthly running. Official results from the tournament are listed below, as well as a finalized Weekly Leaderboard and Player of the Month leaderboard:
- Ian Cohen (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $2,197
- Kevin Dubrocq (Hialeah, FL) $988
