News in brief
July 17th, 2010Not many players FT a $5000 buy in tournie then win a $50 buy in a few days later.That is exactly what Jim Pittman achieved.

That resulted in the final day of the $40k Guarantee restarting,with 40 minute rounds, at 7pm Monday. The prize pool was over $50k resulting in a very useful $18k first [...]
