Another Progressive Knockout tournament in the shape of Event #10-H: $1,050 NLHE drew a total of 1,157 entries, easily surpassing the initial guarantee of $750,000.

After the completion of over eight hours of play, only 93 players made it through in the hopes of scoring further bounty prizes and potentially claiming the top prize of $79,644.69. Romania's "mandan1979" topped the counts as the only player above five million and has 5,080,902 to his name. He is followed by Lithuania's "Mikensonas" with 4,365,087 and third-placed "jorginho88" is trailing by quite a margin with 3,023,682.
