ICYMI: Thursday's $200 No Limit Hold'em ($15,000 GTD) may not carry the double leaderboard points anymore, but that didn't damper it's popularity with players. Last night's installment saw registration close with a total of (95) entries, and after the optional add-ons were included in the prize pool, the official number closed at $19,000.
