With a full field of 128 players and several world-class players in attendance, Jeremy Jones proves once again that he's a bar table champion, too. Player began around 4 PM on Saturday after the player's auction and continued until almost daylight. This was a contest of the last man standing. Many pro and top regional players were present, such as Cliff Joyner, Grady Matthews, Sarah Rousey, Scotty Townsend, Shannon Bryant, Larry Nevel, Tony Watson, James Walden, James Baraks, David Matlock, Reed Pierce, John Schmidt, Jesse Bowman, Shannon Daulton, Pablo Matheu, Jon Macias, Josh Hillard, Blake Todd, Stoney Stone, Josh Degler, Chad Wilmont, Tony Ferguson and Paul Turner.
Jesse Bowman was classified as a favorite to win, but Jeremy had something else to say about that. One would almost have to agee, since Jesse cruised to the hot seat seemingly unchallenged. However, Jeremy defeated him twice in the true double elimination finals to capture the top prize. The finals took place around 3 AM Monday morning.
