ICYMI: After a weekend with unseasonably lower tournament numbers, Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD) saw things return to form. Registration for the tournament closed with a total of (108) entries, which equated to a prize pool that was more than double the posted number (officially $22,464). As with the tournament format, the top nine spots were scheduled to reach the money, with action playing down to a four-handed final table. A deal was then agreed to, with tournament veteran Lawrence Klur (Boynton Beach, FL) taking home first place money (along with 23.92 leaderboard points).
Tonight is the final opportunity for players to try and surpass Pedro Palacio, who leads the Player of the Month rankings by a healthy margin (but not one that couldn't be overcome). Official results from last night's tournament are listed below:
- Lawrence Klur (Boynton Beach, FL) $4,976
