1st Place: Michael Thibeau ($20,280)
John O. Matson minraised preflop from the button and Michael Thibeau called from the big blind. The dealer put out the [9s][3d][4s] flop and Michael checked, only to see John move all in. It was a snap call for Michael as he held [9c][3c], and John would need runner runner to survive with his [Ah][Qs]. The [7c] turn meant John was drawing dead, and the meaningless [Qh] hit the river to give Michael the win.
Micheal will collect $20,280 for his first place finish along with the World Series of Poker Circuit Ring. Congratulations, Michael!
3rd Place: Kevin Gibbs ($9,092)
Kevin Gibbs was all in preflop with K-Q and was up against the [Ac][Tc] of Michael Thibeau. The board ran out [8h][4s][Td][4c][9d] and Kevin will exit the tournament in 3rd place. He will collect $9,092 for his efforts.

4th Place: Vincent Farrell ($6,709)
Vincent Farrell has been eliminated when his [Qd][Qc] ran into the [Ks][Kd] of John O. Matson. The board ran out a pure [Js][4h][4d][Ts][5s] and Vincent headed to the payout desk to collect $6,709 for his 4th place finish.
5th Place: James Watt ($5,036)
James Watt moved all in with [Qc][6c] and was called with [Ah][9c]. The [8c][8d][4d] flop was no help for James, but he was still live to make a pair. The [5s] turn added a gutshot draw, but the [3c] was a brick. James will exit this tournament in 5th place for $5,036, adding to his win of Event #1.
6th Place: Michael Huguenot ($3,836)
From the small blind, James Watt bet enough to put Michael Huguenot all in. Michael elected to call with J-6, and was dominated by James's J-T. The board ran out blanks until the river, when James paired his ten. That was enough to send Michael to the rail in 6th place, good for $3,836.
7th Place: Aaron Frei ($2,966)
Pocket threes continue to hold up at this final table, this time to the misfortune of Aaron Frei. Aaron was all in with pocket fours against pocket threes, and a three on the flop spelled doom for Aaron. He could not find a four on the turn or the river, and he will be eliminated in 7th place. Aaron will collect $2,966 for his finish.
8th Place: Pete Huzar ($2,332)
Pete Huzar has been eliminated when his [Ad][8c] failed to improve against his opponent's [3s][3d]. The [4s][4c][7h][Ks][Jd] board offered no help to Pete, who will exit this tournament in 8th place. He will collect $2,332 for his efforts.
9th Place: Mark Awalt ($1,868)
It didn't take long for Mark Awalt to get all of his chips in the middle after losing a race to Vincent Farrell. Unfortunately for Mark, his [Ah][3h] was behind his opponent's [Ad][Kd], but the [4d][2c][Js] flop gave him some hope with a gutshot. The [7h] turn and [6d] river failed to improve Mark's hand, and he will exit this tournament in 9th place, good for $1,868.
Vincent Farrell doubles up & gets a penalty
Vincent Farrell moved all in and showed [3h][3c]. Unfortunately Mark Awalt had not made his decision yet. It was an easy call for him with [8h][7h], but the [Js][5s][4h] kept the treys in front. The [Kh] on the turn gave him a word of outs: a flush draw to go along with his gut shot straight draw and two overs. Somehow, the [2c] hit the river.
Vincent doubled up, and was immediately put on a one round penalty for exposing his cards with action pending. His 200,000 stack will be around 40,000 chips lighter when he takes his seat again.
10th Place: Glenn Stone ($1,504)
After a few chops (AK vs AK and AQ vs AQ), we finally lost our first player at this unofficial final table. Glen Stone took 10th place when his [Ac][Jd] failed to improve against his opponent's [As][Qs]. He will collect $1,504, and we are now at the official WSOP Circuit Official Final Table.
