The likes of Team PokerStars Online Isaac Haxton, Steve O'Dwyer, the then reigning WSOP Main Event champion Matin Jacobson, Olivier Busquets, Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier, and Canadian duo Mike Watson and Mike McDonald were among those who fell before the money places on Season 2.

Those who did reach the money places included American Brian Roberts, Finnish superstar Juha Helppi, British star Stephen Chidwick, and the eventual champion Leonid Markin who defeated Paul Newey heads-up to scoop the massive €771,360 first place prize.
