The Main Event attracted a full spectrum of familiar names, headlined by BorgataPoker.com Sponsored Pros Daniel "leinad" Buzgon and Michael "Gags30" Gagliano. Others seen in the field included Ari "spinach_kale" Engel, Jonathan "jetsfan411" Borenstein, and Ryan "TheSims" Hohner (34th place - $757.74).

In total, 36 players made it into the money, a feat which was reached one hour after the four-and-a-half-hour late registration period closed. The field was halved to 18 after another hour of play, and that number dropped to 10 shortly thereafter.

Play then lasted for nearly two full levels on the final table bubble before "TheKing411" claimed the chip lead when 10 turned to nine. "DaCoolerKing" and sri50k were the first two to exit, and seven-handed play went on for another two levels after that.

However, the rapid-fire eliminations of mj23style, IReadYrSoul, deerpathdave, rumpthumper, and Bluehaven within a level-and-a-half of each other quickly brought the tournament to heads-up play, where "TheKing411" made quick work of "Rennan23," winning the tournament in less than one level of play.
