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.
