The tournament with serial number 6 had a buy-in of $15,100, produced 84 entries and a prizepool of $1,260,000. Isaac Haxton entered the final table here as the chipleader, and he ended up being the winner of this tournament. He was facing Jim Collopy in the final heads-up. The players wanted to be able to register for Event #7, so they agreed to close the tournament and just play for points. Haxton took home his sixth career PGT trophy, $352,800 and 353 points.
