The Midsummer Classic tournament ended with another victory for Curtis Williams, who has previously won the Tournament of Champions. The final table was a 50/50 male/female split and some new faces at the final table. Adam Dunn, Lisa Mathes, Sharon Ott, and Tiffany Dillon Keen were all making their first appearance at the final table, but alas it was two final table veterans, Jeff Bolling and Curtis Williams who went heads up for the tournament trophy.
