2008 WSOP Circuit Event - Caesars Las Vegas

That's a Wrap!

..and just like that, we have a winner! Allen Cunningham made quick work of heads-up opponent Ben Fineman en route to capturing his first WSOP Circuit Championship title. The Team Full Tilt Pro entered the final table as its third smallest chip stack, but his resilience carried him through to the end, eventually helping him overcome a 3.5-1 chip disadvantage in the heads-up match. Cunningham's win pushed him past the $10 million mark in career tournament earnings and further solidifies his position as one of poker's premier tournament professionals.

Meanwhile, while Fineman surely would've preferred a victory here today, he's got to be pleased with his overall performance at Caesars this month. The young pro grossed over $325,000 in prize money since the Circuit came to town and won a championship ring of his own for taking down a $1,060 buy-in no-limit hold'em event just ten short days ago.

Thus, for now our time is up but we'll be back on May 19th reporting from the 'Big Easy' with live coverage of the 2008 WSOP Circuit's Boyou Poker Challenge, set to take place at Harrah's New Orleans.

Until then, from Caesars Palace in Sin City, good night and good luck!
