The Master Truimphs In Wsop's Indiana Circuit Tournament
$238 756 payday for poker pro
The weekend's poker action centred on the World Series of Poker
Circuit event at Caesars in Indiana, where an impressive lineup
of poker pros fought it out for a seriously good payday of $238
756.
In the hunt were Barry Greenstein (who finished 17th) Scott Fischman
(9th), Young Phan, Mimi Tran and several other top players giving
Indiana spectators a feast of savvy and daring poker.
At the end of the day, the heads up in the $5 000 No-Limit Hold
'Em championship event was between Men "The Master" Nguyen
and Young Phan, with The Master at a serious two-to-one chip stack
disadvantage. Despite this, the extrovert poker pro turned the game
around and eventually saw his opponent off just before midnight,
when his pocket sixes held off Phan's ace-ten offsuit for the win.
Nguyen picked up the winner's check for $238 756, with Phan taking
the second place payout of $125 273.
