Event 19 Survivors
The Survivor Tournament was originally scheduled to pay out the final 10 players, but when it was down to 12 and getting past 1:00 am, they agreed to split it 12 ways.
Henry Van Putten finished as the chipleader, though that doesn’t earn him anything beyond bragging rights. So the payouts below are listed in alphabetical order by last name:
Gerald Aiello – $2,020 Andrew Apostol – $2,021 Alexander Chiang – $2,021 Justin Daniels – $2,021 Duong Dieu – $2,021 John Gordon – $2,021 Ching Lo – $2,020 Mohamed Maghraoui – $2,021 Oduok Ntuk – $2,021 John Ostberg III – $2,021 Juan Ramirez Parodi – $2,021 Henry Van Putten – $2,021
Because they chopped the prizepool early, the amounts didn’t balance out, so two players were chosen at random to receive $1 less — Gerald Aiello and Ching Lo.
