Some 970 players entered the tournament and only nine returned for the final day.

The final table was an international affair and returned players from five different countries. Tristan Wade was the only returning WSOP bracelet winner but he had stiff competition with high stakes player van der Fluit. Charles Tonne returned as the chip leader for the second day in the tournament.  He finished second with a $164,132 payday.
