Both players competed in the 75 person tournament with the top 10 winning a seat into the following days Bellagio annual Five Diamon Classic Tournament. Matt was unsure if he was going to be able to make the trip, but was glad he decided to go and Jennifer was one of only two double stacks to start in the field which paid off in the end. Respectively Matt ended up getting sixth place and Jennifer got tenth place each winning the $1,000 + $80 tournament buy-in the following day.
