ICYMI: One aspect of Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($20,000 GTD) that makes it so attractive, is the format of the payouts. With 40% of the prize pool scheduled to go to the first place finisher, it's a surprise that we see so many of the events conclude in a chop. Last night's installment was a great example of how helpful this tournament could be, for someone looking to inject themselves into the Player of the Month race:
- Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) $10,316
- Michael Ladda (Boynton Beach, FL) $4,643
- Ian Cohen (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $2,579
- David Albertson (Coral Springs, FL) $1,805
- Jacobo Milhem (Miami, FL) $1,805
- James Majesty (Lauderdale Lakes, FL) $1,290
- Alfredo Guevara (Hialeah, FL) $1,290
- Richard Maltzman (Lake Worth, FL) $1,032
- Robert Williams (Miami, FL) $1,032

Registration is open through Level 8, and closes once the first hand of Level 9 is dealt (there is a short break between the two).
