One of those tournaments was Event #1: $350 No-Limit Hold’em, which attracted 1,129 entries and created a $338,700 prize pool paid out to the top 114 places.
Among those to cash were Mike Rieck (13th - $3,489), defending champ Craig Welko (16th - $2,506), Kyle Parrish (30th - $1,727), Clarence Murray (49th - $1,382), Boris Ronko (68th - $1,075), Ron Amos (90th - $870), and Kenneth Davis (111th - $760).
