After "Smithstudent", who won the XL Inferno #68 - $15,000 Breeze on this day, busted in 10th place, the remaining nine players went to the final table. On the final table, the tournament lost "Juanfran1973" (ninth, $492), "Ender112" (eight, $738) and "luckyr1ver" (seventh, $984) in quick succession.
