Harveys Lake Tahoe

The sixth stop of the 2012-2013 World Series of Poker Circuit presented by Southern Comfort 100 Proof has been taking place all week long at Harveys Lake Tahoe and will culminate this weekend with the $1,675 Main Event.

Poker players flocked to scenic Lake Tahoe to take part in 12 rings events, running from Nov. 8-19, 2012. The majority of those events have come to an end, and one big storyline has emerged �� Daniel Gilmer, who won two gold rings in four days to take a commanding lead in the Casino Championship race.

Gilmer, 24, first struck gold in Event #2: $365 No-Limit Hold��em Turbo when he overcame a field of 220 players to capture the $16,426 first-place prize. Days later, Gilmer entered Event #6: $365 No-Limit Hold��em and topped a field of 219 players to win his second gold ring and the $15,675 prize. What��s more, Gilmer did so by defeating a final table that included three other gold ring winners �� Clint Baskin, Roger Trotter, and Daniel Aran (four-time ring winner Alek Masek finished in 10th place).

��It doesn't seem real right now,�� Gilmer told the WSOP moments after his victory. ��I've been playing tow years and was chasing this, and now to have two rings this week alone, is amazing. Why did I have to wait this long?��

��I got lucky in some key spots,�� Gilmer continued. ��I've been running very well here at Lake Tahoe, and you can't teach that�� I think I am trusting myself more now. I'll follow my own convictions, to make a play even to get off a hand when I think I'm beat. You have to have that to win, and I'm getting to the point where I am trusting myself. If I think it's the right play, I'll go with it.��

Gilmer joined a short list of players to win two rings at a single stop, and still has the opportunity to do what no one has ever done �� win three in one stop.

Here's a look at the WSOP Circuit Harveys Lake Tahoe events completed thus far:
