Tuesday, January 11th: Adel Jo Returns To Form, And Takes Hold Of Top Spot On The Player Of The Month Leaderboard!

ICYMI: Pre-pandemic, Adel Jo's name was frequently spotted in the recurring tournament results, as he crushed the schedule each and every week.  Last night he was able to return to the winner's circle (for the first time in a while at the Isle Casino Pompano Park Poker Room), as he topped a chop of the $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($10,000 GTD).  This week's installment of the tournament attracted a total of (93) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $19,344.  With payouts spread across only the final table, players were more than happy to discuss numbers three-handed, eventually agreeing to a deal.  Official results from the event are listed below, along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard:

1. Adel Jo (Miami, FL) $5,247
