ICYMI: The headline for Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD) is usually the prize pool and payouts, but last night was a different story. The evening's tournament ended up attracting a total of (134) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $27,872. With the final table payout formula, first place was scheduled to take home over five-figures, but the original payouts would end up being altered. Last night's chop looked a little different, as David Albertson (Coral Springs, FL) got the final four players to agree to some lopsided numbers. Alberton's first place prize was $5,500 more than second place, and saw him walk away with $9,350. Official results from the tournament are listed below:
- David Albertson (Coral Springs, FL) $9,350
- Devin Brodman (Coconut Creek, FL) 43,853
- Dave Henry (Coral Springs, FL) $3,851
- Peter Cleven (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $3,851
- Adam Mammon (Lauderhill, FL) $1,951

- James Tomblin (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,672
- Robert Castro (Miami, FL) $836
- John Freidkes (Parkland, FL) $836
