The evening tournament was a $80 No Limit Hold'em event, which had a strong showing for a tournament with no posted guarantee. The field was comprised of (41) total entries, and ended up with an official prize pool of $2,337. Six places were scheduled to get paid in the tournament, with a min-cash worth $140, and first place to win $911. The action continued through the money bubble, but was eventually paused when heads-up play was reached. An even chop was agreed to at that point, with Matthew Porter (Coral Springs, FL) declared the tournament's winner, getting a single dollar more than runner-up Steven Olek.
