This event more than doubled the $500,000 guarantee on Monday when 1,589 players fastened their seat belts as 3,130 rebuys and 754 add-ons pushed up the prize pool to seven figures. And then there was a server problem with two tables remaining. Half of the players were disconnected but the tournament was paused, the issue was fixed, and the final table of nine was formed.

| 1 | Jonathan "MONSTER_DONG" Karamalikis | $179,569.13 |
| 2 | medmar | $131,352 |
