The tournament returned on Day 2 with 49 players set to battle it out for a Borgata trophy, along with the $36,166 first-place cash. Heftler played with heart, attempting a bluff for all of the marbles but ran into the straight of Lytle as he was eliminated in second. Heftler had Lytle against the ropes but couldn't keep the champ down as Lytle fought back, taking the lead back through two doubles. Heftler and Lytle had a back and forth battle that took well over an hour to play out, with multiple lead changes in between. He ran over the final table without losing the chip lead until heads-up play against Julius Heftler.
