The stop kicked off with Event #1: $250 Series Kickoff, a tournament that drew 290 entrants and created a $58,000 prize pool. The special Labor Day tournament was won by Michael Narlesky, who earned $13,278 and his first gold ring.

Others to cash were Linwood Bailey (4th - $4,212), Justin Kuraitis (8th - $1,378), James Prager (12th - $805), Sok Chean (17th - $613), Ryan Pham (25th - $414), Van Nguyen (30th - $369), and Derek Criswell (40th - $337).
