Monday, July 25th: Sunday's $400 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($50,000 GTD) Crushes Expectations Once Again, Sees Two Players Walk Away With Over $25,000!!!

ICYMI: Sunday's $400 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($50,000 GTD) made it's first two appearances on the tournament calendar, but it's likely we will see the event finding a permanent home moving forward.  After last week's impressive turnout, the numbers reached even new heights, with registration for the tournament closing with a total of (255) entries.  The $87,465 prize pool was scheduled to be paid out across the top nine spots, meaning first place was scheduled to take home over $30,000!!!!  Action would play down to a heads-up final table, with two local tournament veterans agreeing to a deal.  Jeffrey Silverstein and Marc Levy each walked away with at least $25,000, along with over 70.00 leaderboard points each (making this event even more of a can't miss).  Official results from the event are listed below, along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard:

1. Jeffrey Silverstein (Delray Beach, FL) $25,728
2. Marc Levy (Lake Worth, FL) $25,000
3. Jennifer Aguilar (Cooper City, FL) $8,747
4. Tuần Nguyễn (Naples, FL) $6,123

Tournaments: At 5:00pm this evening, the $250 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD)s "Final Table Finish" returns, with a little wrinkle.  This particular tournament had such a good structure, that the final table action ran into the closing time of the poker room (players are then faced with chopping, or bagging for a Day 2).  To keep that from occurring, there will be some slight changes moving forward.

The event will be structured with 25,000 chip starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and open registration through Level 8 (and the break that follows).  The new format-wrinkle comes into play when discussing payouts, as the tournament will pay out just the final table, regardless of how many entries.  Exact payout percentages are as follows (final tables are now nine-handed):

1. 40%
2. 18%
3. 10%
4. 7%
5. 7%
6. 6%
7. 6%
8. 3%
9. 3%

These high hands must be aces-full or better, use both hole cards, and be the winning hand (in a pot that has at least $10).  From 11:00pm until close, $100 high hands will be awarded every (30) minutes.
