ICYMI: Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($20,000 GTD) is another recurring tournament that players have come to love, considering the payout format (which sees only the final table reach the money, regardless of how many entries). Last night's installment saw registration close with (105) entries, and an official prize pool of $21,840. Action played down to a three-handed final table, at which point a chop was agreed to. Tournament veteran TJ Shulman took home first place honors, which was worth over $5,550 (and 26.75 leaderboard points).
