ICYMI: If someone has plans of winning Player of the Month, Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($20,000 GTD) is usually going to be an integral part to securing the title. Last night's installment was a great example, as the tournament ended in a deal, but provided the first place winner with 30+ leaderboard points. Registration for the tournament closed with a total of (105) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $21,840. The players that reached the nine-handed final table were guaranteed a return on investment, with the action ending in a four-handed final table.
