ICYMI: Saturday's $130 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) had a very nice showing, with the tournament attracting a total of (70) entries. The $7,000 prize pool was well more than the posted guarantee, and offered up a first place prize that was just short of $2,500. The evening's action played through the money bubble, and down to a five-handed final table. The remaining players paused the clock, and eventually agreed to a deal, which saw James Andrew (Delray Beach, FL) take home first place money. Official results from the event are listed below:
- James Andrew (Delray Beach, FL) $1,296
- Nancy Birnbaum (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,283
