Stephen Chidwick, who some consider the best tournament player in the world, sold to the defending champs Team DPMC for $20 and was the 76th pick, marking the halfway point of the draft.

Marco Johnson then sold for Team Sternheimer for $37, and then Aram Zobian went for $7 to Team Wilson, leaving them just one roster spot to fill and $33 left to spend.

Ryan Leng was a $9 pick for Team Sepiol, and then Daniel Negreanu nominated Andrew "Lucky Chewy" Lichtenberger for $1, but Jeff Platt of Team NGNF went to $2. Negreanu counted for $3 and Platt made it $5, the max his team could bid. Negreanu noticed that fact and bid $6 to claim Lucky Chewy.

Cary Katz (AKA "El Jefe") then went to Team Sternheimer before Wisconsin's Josh Reichard sold for $5 to Team Oz.
