A National Champion Will be Crowned
After two long days of play, the World Series of Poker Circuit National Championship final table is set. Today, the remaining nine players will converge on the Caesars Palace poker room as they battle it out for the $300,000 first-place prize and a WSOP gold bracelet.
Leading the way is our chip leader Jonathan Poche, who won the Harrah’s New Orleans Main Event less than two weeks ago. He is joined at the final table by some other champions such as Charles “Woody” Moore (Southern Indiana Horseshoe Main Event Champion); Adam Hui (Caesars Palace Casino Champion); Sam Barnhart (Harrah’s Tunica Main Event Champion); and Jim Anderson (Midwest Regional Champion). In addition, some other final table participants earned their spots via “At-large bids” including one of only two women who started the event, La Sengphet; Josh Evans; Drazen Ilich; and Matthew Lawrence.
Here is a look at the final table heading into the third and final day:
