ICYMI: Saturday's $130 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) has always been known as the most "affordable" tournament on the schedule, as it started at a $100 price point. The slight increase in buy-in did not deter the loyal crowd, as evident by last night's numbers. Registration for the tournament closed with (74) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $7,400. A total of ten players would reach the money, with the night's action playing down to a four-handed final table. A deal was agreed to at that point, with Shamica Lamar taking home first place money ($1,622).
