42 people start in the tournament. Players start with chips valued at $200, adding $50 more per player this year.

Seven tables of six once again began the climb to the top. By the first break we had a player out. King's Full beaten by 4 Aces... A Heartbreaker!

After the dinner break, we are down to about 39. Antes continue to rise. Next break, we start with 23.

It was a grueling day! Final table gets established right after the midnight break.

7 players... 6... 5... Crafty Fox P is quoted as saying, "It don't matter now, I am at least a money winner," and is eliminated 20 minutes later. Kevin "2 4" D goes out next, leaving in three Davids.

David comes in 3rd

David comes in second...

And the big winner and the new Big Easy Poker champion is David!
