ICYMI: Thursday's $200 No Limit Hold'em ($15,000 GTD) took a week to gain form, but players quickly realized how valuable the double Player of the Month leaderboard points are. Doing well in this tournament alone, can allow for a player to compete in the month-long race. Last night's installment attracted a total of (96) entries, which helped the prize pool eclipse the posted guarantee ($19,460). A total of (12) players were scheduled to reach the money, with action playing down to a heads-up final table (at which point a chop was agreed to). Ingrid Ortiz took home first place money ($5,503), along with 54.29 leaderboard points, which vaulted her to the top of the rankings.
