br, the winner was someone who had snagged a $5.20 show payoff early on. There were 3 of us tied at $3.40 for next highest show payoff, so we split 2nd and 3rd place money ($1500 +$500), for $667 each. Turned out they only use the 2nd tiebreaker if it's necessary to award the 1st place prize. That was good news to me. Three other players who made it to the end apparently got zilch.

I haven't gotten the check yet, but there were releases to be signed, and maybe one of the winners was slow.
