Memorable hand:
The story of this tournament was Greenstein dedicating his victory to terminally ill cancer patient Charlie Tuttle and, as always, donating all of his winnings to charity. But the hand of the tournament took place before the final day of play even began and did not involve Reentering. The final hand of Day One cut the field from 11 to nine, as eventual fifth-place finisher Tim Martz eliminated both Jay Heimowitz and Phil Hellmuth. Hellmuth raised pre-flop with As-Kh-8c-7s, and Martz and Heimowitz called (the latter putting himself all in). The Kc-8d-7h flop looked good to Hellmuth, so he raised all in, and Martz again called. Heimowitz became a non-factor when his dominated hand was revealed, but Martz was alive with Kd-Jh-Jc-9d. The turn was the 10d, giving Martz a straight, and the Jd on the river made him a flush. To the surprise of no one, Hellmuth let fly some colorful language that was better suited for HBO than ESPN.

Other noteworthy finishers were Julian Gardner in 15th place and Casey Kastle in 22nd place.
