PokerNews is on site here at Harvey's Hotel and Casino in picturesque South Lake Tahoe for another stop on the 2008 World Series of Poker Circuit. With the recent conclusion of the November Nine final table, poker is buzzing up in the mountains and the tournament staff anticipates a big turnout.

Last year's Tahoe Main Event was won by Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson, who bested a field of 142 players en route to claiming the $203,649 grand prize and a circuit championship gold ring -- Ferguson's third. Irishman Sylvester Geoghegan also made an appearance at last year's final table, posting a 4th place finish, as did future WSOP bracelet winner Michael Banducci, who finished 6th.

Coverage begins at 12:00 noon local time (GST -8). Join us then for live updates, chip counts and photos direct from the tournament floor!
