Tournament Report
John Murphy Shines in No-Limit Event at Lake Tahoe
Poker pro with many cashes and tournament wins, adds yet another victory
to his record
Stateline, NV - The eighth event on this year's World Series of Poker Circuit
at Harvey's Lake Tahoe attracted a more modest-sized field, after a week filled
with big tournaments. The $1,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em championship drew 62
players, competing for a total prize pool of $50,140. The top nine players were
paid.
The winner was John Murphy, from Danville, CA. He is 25-year-old professional
who has been playing poker seriously since he finished in 13th place at the
World Series of Poker championship event back in 2004. He has also won events
at the Mirage Poker Showdown and the L.A. Poker Classic. This was his first
WSOP-related victory. First place paid $21,379.
Since this year's tournament series began a week ago, the poker room and tournament
area has been standing-room only. What tables were not used in tournament play
have been filled to capacity with cash games. So, in response to player demand,
an 11th event has been added to the WSOP Circuit schedule at Harvey's. This
Sunday, on November 18th, starting at 1 pm a $200 buy-in no-limit hold'em event
will be offered. |
