Event 14 (Day 1A): A Look At Last Years "Battles At The Beach" Main Event

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)
Level 4 (Blinds 100/200/25)
Total Entries: 68

Last year's installment of the Battles At The Beach Main Event was also a $1,500 buy-in, which attracted a total of (516) entries.  The official prize pool ended up at an even $696,000, over $196,000 more than the guarantee, which was the same as this year's ($500,000).  The event was won by John Dollinger (Gulf Breeze, FL), who will also be in attendance this year, after a winning a seat into the tournament in yesterday's $340 No Limit Hold'em "Mega Satellite."  The win is still the largest tournament score of Dollinger's career to date, for a player who has also seen a lot of success playing online as well.  There were some other familiar names at that final table, including two players that are currently in today's field (Raminder Singh and Staffan Lind).  Some other big names to cash in last year's event include Philip Hui (11th place), Zohair Karim (16th place), Ryan Dunn (27th place), Jonathan Jaffe (30th place), Loni Harwood (32nd place), Maurice Hawkins (34th place), and Jake Schwartz (54th place).
