Only the final four would get paid, and the two players to bow out in that round were James Liddel and Khoa Luong, the latter having won Event #3: $370 5-Card PLO. Both earned $4,200 for their efforts.

The final was between Ryan Tamanini of Hanover, Pennsylvania and Maxwell Young. The former ultimately prevailed to capture the PPO title and a $12,600 first-place prize.
