Rebuy tournaments are notoriously tough to determine whether a guarantee will be reached and Event #7 proved the point giving the players a nearly $40k overlay. The $100+9 No Limit Hold’em with unlimited rebuys attracted 1,893 players with 2,658 rebuys and 1,083 add-ons missing the $600,000 guarantee. $123,600 would be awarded to the last player standing.

2008 World Series of Poker Event #32 winner Luis Velador would be the member of Team Full Tilt to last the longest.
