Friday, April 29th: Anderson Patino Still Holding Onto Top Spot On Leaderboard (With One Event Remaining), Kickstarter Promotion Looking To Award $1,000 To Lucky Winner

ICYMI: Thursday's schedule saw the $180 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) for the final table (at least for the foreseen future), as May's schedule sees a new event in that date/time slot.  The final "Double Green Chip Bounty" attracted a total of (30) entries, and had an official prize pool of $3,500 ($1,500 bounty pool).  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, and after two in-the-money eliminations, a heads-up deal was agreed to, between Antonio De Araujo and Jonathan Jimenez.  Official results from the tournament are listed below, along with an updated Player of the Month leaderboard:

1. Antonio De Araujo (Deerfield Beach, FL) $1,320
2. Jonathan Jimenez (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,200
3. Daniel Bueno (Sunrise, FL) $595
4. Darryl Wettlaufer (Mississauga, ON) $385
