ICYMI: Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) could quite possibly be one of the best recurring tournament options in the entire state of Florida (let alone our South Florida market). With the prize pool being paid out to the top nine spots...regardless of how many entries the tournament gets, means the entered will have an opportunity to secure payouts that are much healthier than all other tournaments (even those that have a similar price point). Last night's tournament saw a field that grew to (125) entries, helping the official prize pool cruise past the posted guarantee (closing at $26,000). Action played through the money bubble, and down to a four-handed final table. Seth Medoff (Pompano Beach, FL) earned himself a lion's share of the money, walking away with $7,560 for first place. Official results from the tournament are listed below, along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard:
- Seth Medoff (Pompano Beach, FL) $7,560
