Freddy Deeb enjoying is Main Event win.

The World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event at the Bicycle Casino has wrapped up and Freddy Deeb is the winner of a WSOPC ring, an invite to the National Championship and $171,810. Every other player at the final table had put in three grueling days of play but Deeb skipped Day 1 and entered Day 2 with only 20 big blinds.

Deeb soared to the top of the counts before the first break on Day 2. He quickly ran his stack up to six-figures and didn't experience any major trouble until late in the day. When they bagged up Deeb had one of the smaller stacks.

But it didn't Deeb long on Day 3 to make an impact. On only the second hand of play Deeb moved all in after Chris Summers moved all in. Then Cy Williams moved all in behind them with a smaller stack. Deeb held pocket jacks, Williams had pocket nines and Summers had . Deeb flopped a set and made a full house by the river, eliminating Williams and pushing his own stack to up over 1,000,000.

When the field reached an official final table Deeb was the chipleader with 2.35 million. The final table played for over ten hours and saw wild fluctuations. Deeb spent some time as the shortest stack, dipping down to 300,000 at one point, but then battled back to the top.

Deeb had control of the table, even when he was low. He scored six of the eight knockouts. But he had his work cut our for him in an epic heads up battle against Alex Masek. Every time Masek looked in danger of being eliminated he would double back up.

The match finally ended when they got all the chips in the middle preflop. Deeb held and Masek had . The board ran and Deeb claimed his first WSOPC cash.

That wraps up all the action here at the Bike, up next the WSOPC Choctaw. Be sure to follow all the action live on Pokernews.com
