The main tournament, with a $1,110 buy-in and a $300,000 guarantee, attracted a total of 386 entries to the Ameristar Casino.
Champion Lee Rzentkowski pocketed $82,955 for his victory and earned a $3,500 entry to the prestigious MSPT Championship.
The decisive moment came in the heads-up when Rzentkowski, holding two pairs, faced off against Aaron Brown's flush draw. Although Brown completed his flush on the turn, a nine on the river gave Rzentkowski a full house, sealing his second career title in this series.
