While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the Main Event and High Roller, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Las Vegas.

In Event #4: $400 NLH Monster Stack, 225 runners created a $74,250 prize pool that was paid out to the top 34 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Patrick Testoni (11th - $1,233), Robert Cote (13th- $1,037), Nicholas Haynes (18th - $893), Brenda DeWitt (21st - $787), and Brian Green (23rd - $711).

In the end, it was Virginia native Mark Liedtke who collected every chip in play to capture his first ring along with a $17,309 payday.

“It feels pretty good,” he said after the event. This is Liedtke’s 40th career Circuit cash, and he’s come close to victory before, but until today always fell short of a ring. “I got second twice this year,” he recalled. “And a couple other final tables.”

Liedtke is primarily a cash game player. Tournaments are “more of a fun thing for me,” he said
