2008 Caesar's Indiana WSOP Circuit Event

Friday 10/19/2007 9:00 a.m.
Event #1 No Limit Hold'Em $300 + $40
For the first event at Caesar's Indiana there were 668 players who entered. With an entry fee of $300 + $40, this created a prize pool of $189,213 which went to the top 63 finishers. The winner was Jason Potter who is a 22 year old law student. He won the final table by using what he called "super aggressive" play, which involved him moving all-in repeatedly even with weak hands because he felt the other players were too tight with their chips. The final table heads up happened between Jason Potter and Robin Farley who has played the game for more than 20 years. Farley had 260,000 to Potter with over 1 million chips. The winning hand came when Potter went all-in with Q 3 and was called by Farley with Qh Kh. What landed on the felt was Ah 9c 3c Qc 5s, which gave Potter two pair (Q's and 3's) to win the title.

Event #11 No Limit Hold'Em w/rebuys $500
There were 128 entries for Event #11, and 91 rebuys took place for the event.

David Fox is also a top player with six figure winnings in his career.

When the heads up began, both Mark Smith and David Fox were even in chips. But the action only lasted three hands.

Wednesday 10/31/2007 12:00 p.m. 3 day event
Circuit Championship Event $5000
Well the WSOP is running a little behind and as of Nov 4, results have not been released. So we will just post what we know to be true. On Day 1 there were 144 entrants for this Main Event. Strangely enough, last year's champion Chad Bautista was on the floor but did not enter the event until the very last minute. This created a $688,400 prize pool to be split with the 18 top finishers. First place will receive first place earning $223,041.60, a $10,000 2008 WSOP main event buy-in, and $1,000 spending money for that event. Seen at in the field were Doug "Rico" Carli, Tom Schneider, Dave Fox and William Elder. During Day 1 a player did hit a royal flush during play, gaining enough chips to ensure Day 2 play. All the action ended when 27 players were left.

Day 2 had the goal of continuing until the 9 for the final table was reached, which only took a few hours. Here are the names of the final table players with chip counts:

1. Terry Ogle -- 339,000
2. Carlos Uz -- 329,000
3. Chris Moore -- 293,500
4. Vito Casullo Jr. -- 137,500
5. Marc Fratter -- 115,500
6. Jim Lindsay -- 74,000
7. Chris Viox -- 67,500
8. Thomas Hover -- 43,500
9. Tom Schneider -- 42,500
