ICYMI: Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) has been one of the most popular tournaments on the recurring schedule, so an off night is not going to draw much attention (especially with a large series running at the same time). Last night's tournament saw registration close with a total of (73) entries, which was short of the number needed to reach the guarantee. That meant that the official prize pool would be $20,000, and spread across the spots at the final table. Action played down to an outright winner, with Anthony Casas (Miami, FL) taking home first place money ($8,000). Official results from the tournament are listed below, along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard:
- Anthony Casas (Miami, FL) $8,000
- Kevin Knight (Barrington, NH) $3,600
- Ian Cohen (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $2,000
- Peter Cleven (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,400
- Robert Kessler (Parkland, FL) $1,400
- Ilan Hadida (Boca Raton, FL) $1,000
- Anderson Patino (Miami, FL) $1,000
- Steve Smith (West Palm Beach, FL) $800
- James Majuste (Lauderdale Lakes, FL) $800
