Roberts bested some of the best names in poker this week, coming out on top against some serious competition. Among the amateurs in the field were a number of big-name pros, including Bill Gazes, Dan Shak, Al Krux, Doug "Rico" Carli, Brett "Gank" Jungblut, and defending champion John Racener.
The battle was hard-fought today as well, with fierce action in the early going. Roberts came into the day with the chip lead, but he was overtaken by Kyle Bowker on a few short occasions. Roberts battled back hard though, and when the dust settled at the end of the day, he was the only man left standing with chips.
For his efforts this week, Brent Roberts will take home $280,940, a beautiful diamond-studded gold ring, and a $10,000 entry into the 2009 WSOP Main Event. Congratulations to Brent Roberts, the 2008 World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Atlantic City champion!
