The tournament started at 2:15 PM on Saturday with each player receiving 10,000 in chips and the blinds starting at 25 / 25. It took only three hands to have the first person eliminated. However, it took more than 12 hours more to decide a winner.

Notable players in attendance were several of the returning champions. Gilbert Segura, last summers champion, Mr. Merriman Sr, also a returning champion. Player of the Year Howard Narlinger could be seen at the final table.  Once the Final table was started, the action was fast paced.
