Noch einmal 2.818 Spieler nahmen das letzte No-Limit Hold’em an vollbesetzten Tischen vor dem Main Event in Angriff. Bei einem Buy-In von 1.500 Dollar kam ein enormes Preisgeld von 3.846.570 Dollar zustande.
Im Teilnehmerfeld tummelte sich auch eine ganze Horde deutscher Spieler, von denen einige das Preisgeld erreichten, wie etwa Matthias Kürschner, Klaus Schwarz und Schachmeister Sergei Kischnev. Am besten schnitt jedoch Felix Lambertz aus Varel ab, der kurz vor dem Final Table allerdings scheiterte.
In UTG schob Lambertz seine letzten Chips mit 6 5 in die Mitte und bekam mit Brian Green und Mike Ratcliff gleich zwei Caller. Gegen Greens 8 8 und Ratcliffs A K sah es zunächst nicht gut aus, doch der Flop brachte mit Q 4 3 neue Hoffnung. Auf dem Turn mit dem A übernahm jedoch Ratcliff die Führung und gab diese nach der 9 auf dem River nicht mehr ab. Platz 13 somit für Lambertz, der 40.350 Dollar gewann.
Als am Final Table noch drei Spieler saßen, raiste Joseph Chaplin vom Button und wurde von Tony Veckey und Jason Wheeler in den Blinds gecallt. Der Flop brachte 9 8 6 , Veckey setzte, Wheeler callte und Chaplin ging All-In. Veckey foldete, doch Wheeler callte mit Q 2 . Gegen Chaplins 8 7 entwickelte sich ein spannendes Wettrennen, das nach Q und K auf Turn und River gut für Wheeler ausging. Chaplin jedoch musste seinen Platz räumen und durfte 276.029 für Platz 3 in Empfang nehmen.
Das Heads-Up begann mit einer klaren Führung von Jason Wheeler, der fast doppelt so viele Chips wie sein Gegner hatte. Veckey kämpfte sich jedoch heran, überholte seinen Gegner und callte dann auf einem Flop mit Q 10 8 eine hohe Bet seines Gegner. Nach einer Blank auf dem Turn setzte Wheeler erneut, doch Veckey ging All-In. Wheeler callte mit A Q , doch gegen Veckeys Straight mit J 9 war kein Kraut gewachsen. Platz 2 und 418.122 Dollar somit für Jason Wheeler, während Tony Veckey das Bracelet und fette 673.276 Dollar abräumte.
