ICYMI: Monday's $250 No Limit Hold'em "Final Table Finish" ($20,000 GTD) has turned into a "warmup" for this week's WSOP Circuit series (which gets underway on October 13th). Registration for the tournament closed with a total of (94) entries, falling short of the number needed to reach the posted guarantee (meaning there was a small overlay). With the "final table finish" format offering healthy-sized payouts, the evening's action played through the money bubble, and down to a six-handed final table. Daniel Bueno (Sunrise, FL) would end up taking home first place money in a deal that was agreed upon, with the official results listed below:
- Daniel Bueno (Sunrise, FL) $4,324
- Alfredo Guevara (Hialeah, FL) $3,170
- Michael Laufer (Boca Raton, FL) $2,959
- Michael Dermer (Forked River, NJ) $2,546
- Deonarine Itwaru (Queens, NY) $2,321
- Courtney Rowe (West Palm Beach, FL) $2,080
- Atanael Thomas (Hollywood, FL) $1,000
- Jason Shoats (Boynton Beach, FL) $800
- Steven Bennett (Deerfield Beach, FL) $800
