Jason Morrison who qualified out of Hightopps in Timonium had a great run at the HPT Dream Package National Championship. With 94 players competing the top 30 would advance to the next day for a chance at the HPT main event. Jason came in 27th to make it into the top 30 and advance to Sunday. Unfortunately for Jason his bid for the main event came up a little short, but he still played one heck of a tournament. Way to go Jason!
