It was in this tournament where Isildur1 made another deep run. It was an extremely tough field with most of the players being top tournament or PLO specialists featuring the likes of: L0ve2playU, compris, djk123, gavz101, 1-ronnyr3, etc. He beat Ben "NeverScaredB" Wilinofsky in Round 3 on the very first hand, flopping bottom set against his opponent's top two pair. He had a tough match in Round 4 against Leo "ISILDrooN" Nordin but managed to double up a couple of times to eventually beat him. He won his match in Round 5 against saphire1 in less than 5 minutes when he went all-in with his wrap against his opponent's top set but managed to spike one of his outs on the turn. He had to wait for extremely long intervals between his matches as his match was generally the first to finish and he seemed to have not found his momentum in the Quarterfinal match against BriDge2PaiN who managed to beat the young Swede. Nevertheless, Isildur1 still won $18.4k in this tournament finishing in 5th place.
Current players remaining (all of whom are guaranteed at least $33k): BriDge2PaiN, kmpk90, paulgees81, Shizzleness
