Players would enter the game with a stack of 250,000 chips. After 90 minutes of play, Scotty Nguyen took the way out. A few hands later, Tony Dunst was knocked out to fifth place. His elimination allowed Vanessa Selbst to bag up the chip lead over the four remaining survivors. 30 minutes went by and the room saw Vanessa Selbst crushed Antonio Esfandiari.

Surprisingly enough, the situation quickly took an unexpected turn. Selbst failed to maintain the lead and eventually fell to third place, allowing Phil Laak and David Williams to meet in the heads-up with 906,000 and 594,000 chips respectively. Thanks to his incredible skills, David Williams took over the chip lead to win the poker tournament of challenge. Phil Laaks run was stop in the second place, leaving the $ 20,000 first-place prize to David Williams, along with a pair of Monster 24K headphones and a Hublot King Power Unico watch.
