Attendance was poor. They had room for 280 players but less than 100 participated with only a few paying the full $500 entry fee and even fewer doing a rebuy. Rebuys were poor because many thought the prize pool would be reduced due to the poor attendance. However, to their credit, the full prize pool was paid even with the poor attendance. 2 to 4 wild cards were drawn for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds. No wild card for the final table.). Added prize details (Prize money may vary depending on number of players. 10/18/08 update: The full prize money was paid even with less than 100 players although they had room for 280.).
