Matthew Mueller was the first to find his own run cut among the finalists. His ninth place allowed him to pocket $ 12,915 of cash though. Carl Masters ($ 15,067) and Joshua Turner ($ 18,188) suffered the same fate soon afterwards. Two-time HPT winner Reginald Roberts fell to 6th place for $ 21,525. As for Matt Cannella O'Fallon, he finished fifth place for $ 27,444, followed by fourth-place finisher Ron Amos ($ 36,592) and Jeffrey Brin (3rd, $ 52,466). Then the scene was set for Matt Culberson Michael Ross to battle out the heads-up. Matt entered the clash with 4-to-1 chip advantage, keeping Michael Ross away from gaining control of the game. The latter eventually fell to second place. While Ross was awarded $ 78,350 of consolation, first-place finisher Matt Culberson grabbed the title along with $ 129,147. The upcoming stage of the HPT will be held in Las Vegas from November 7 to 16 at Stratosphere Casino-Hotel & Tower.
