Feldman Finishes First at Harrah's WSOPC Championship
In a colossal heads-up battle between two true heavyweights, Peter Feldman beat Gavin Smith to win the WSOP Circuit championship at Harrah's.
Feldman, known by the handle "Nordberg" (and a poker blogger no less: Nord's Blog) banks $532,950 for the win. This is Feldman's second major tournament cashing, as he just missed the WPT Borgata final table in February of this year. In all a very deserving win, as Feldman was at or near the chip lead just about the entire tournament.
Final table payouts: 2) Gavin Smith - $293,930, 3) Matt Russell - $161,500, 4) George Abdallah -$129,200, 5_ Kenny Brown - $96,600, 6) Dana Diephouse - $80,750, 7) Allie Prescott - $64,600, 8) Ben Gordon - $48,450, 9) David Babin - $32,300, 10) Brian Townsend - $22,610.
