Seat 1.  Ozzie Amor  –  205,000  (34 bb)
Seat 2.  Dave Roy  –  175,000  (29 bb)
Seat 3.  John Holley  –  250,000  (42 bb)
Seat 4.  Marc Sacheli  –  115,000  (19 bb)
Seat 5.  Julian Wohlgemuth  –  148,000  (25 bb)
Seat 6.  Ofer Peleg  –  135,000  (23 bb)
Seat 7.  Paul Balzano  –  326,000  (54 bb)
Seat 8.  Jeff Silverstein  –  40,000  (7 bb)
Seat 9.  Spencer Liebmann  –  55,000  (9 bb)
