2. 18%
3. 10%

Monday, July 18th: Andrew Kern Tops Three-Way Deal Of Sunday's Final Table Finish, Now Running Away With Player Of The Month Leaderboard

ICYMI: To say that Sunday's $400 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($50,000 GTD) was a success, would be considered a true understatement.  The tournament exceeded all expectations, and is sure to see a similar turnout next Sunday as well.  Cards got in the air at 3:00pm, and by the time registration closed (after Level 8, and the break that followed), the tournament clock would boast (254) entries.  The $87,122 prize pool was scheduled to be paid out across the final nine players, meaning a min-cash alone would see a return of almost nine buy-ins!!!  First place was scheduled to take home over $35,000, and with the top spots offering up such eye-popping numbers, it's no surprise that the final three agreed to a chop.  Andrew Kern, who was already atop the Player of the Month leaderboard, took home first place money (worth $24,375).  Official results from the tournament are listed below, along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard:

1. Andrew Kern (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $24,375
2. Gregorio Correa (Tamarac, FL) $19,657
3. Samuel Sternfield (Coral Springs, FL) $15,210
4. Efthimios Piperakis (Pembroke Pines, FL) $6,099
5. Carlos Garcia (Miami, FL) $6,099
6. Adam Mammon (Lauderhill, FL) $4,356
7. Ronald Campillo (Plantation, FL) $4,356
8. Angela Lynn (Did Not Report) $3,485
9. Shamica Lamar (Wellington, FL) $3,485

Tournaments: At 5:00pm this evening, the $250 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD)s "Final Table Finish" returns, with a little wrinkle.  This particular tournament had such a good structure, that the final table action ran into the closing time of the poker room (players are then faced with chopping, or bagging for a Day 2).  To keep that from occurring, there will be some slight changes moving forward.

The event will be structured with 25,000 chip starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and open registration through Level 8 (and the break that follows).  The new format-wrinkle comes into play when discussing payouts, as the tournament will pay out just the final table, regardless of how many entries.  Exact payout percentages are as follows (final tables are now nine-handed):

1. 40%
2. 18%
3. 10%
4. 7%
5. 7%
6. 6%
7. 6%
8. 3%
9. 3%
