38 players would show up for Saturdays $1000 added event. The strong contingent of local players would prove to be tough to beat and one player Aaron Bolling would just be too strong for all on the weekend, Making his way through to the hotseat with wins over Paul Harris 7-6, Chad Royal 7-6, Bryan Barfield 7-3 and then Ron Vandiver 7-3 to reach the hotseat. Kris Pitts was another player make a name for himself on the day with strong wins over Jim Zingale 7-3, Lee Scott 7-4, Arthur Huynh 7-6 and then Bryan Spriggs 7-5 to reach the hot seat where his run would come to an end with Bolling capturing the hot seat with a 7-3 win.
