ICYMI: Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($20,000 GTD) got underway at 6:00pm, with registration open through Level 8 (and the short break that follows). When cards were back in the air during Level 9, the tournament clock showed a total of (80) entries (which equated to an official prize pool of $20,000, as the tournament had a small overlay).
