"The $100,000 guarantee was broken before the first cards were ever dealt, and by the end of late registration a total of 11,284 people had signed up. By the end up of the rebuy period 5,755 of them had exercised their option for a single rebuy, which boosted the final prize pool to $255,585 and finalized the top prize at $34,895.45"
As they hit the final
"Everyone was guaranteed nearly $1,600, and with everyone's M-ratio so short - and the blinds and antes rising so quickly - it was no surprise to see AidynK suggest a deal at the break just after the final table began. Several other players were interested, but second-place Raziel2689 quickly squelched the possibility."
Well played Dan!
More British and blonde success

Eight of the 22 players who started Day 2 were from the United Kingdom, and amazingly enough five of them - Paolo69, Dom2312, lb6121, Legazdo and fabstinho - progressed to the final table. Once they got there, they finished strong; of the top five finishers, only Greek runner-up AA DOCTOR hailed from outside the British Isles. It was a fine showing for British poker once again and congratulations are in order for all five players.
Well done Pab!
