ICYMI: Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em ($20,000 GTD) continues to be one of the most popular events on the recurring schedule, with last night's installment cruising past the posted guarantee. Registration closed with a total of (145) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $29,435. As per the "final table finish" format, only the nine players that reached the final table would earn a piece of the prize pool.

At that point, the remaining players agreed to a chop, with official results listed below (along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard):
- Ryan Estrada (Sunrise, FL) $6,000
