Congratulations to Stan Quinn, WSOP-C Harvey's Lake Tahoe Champion ($86,789)!

Stann Quinn - Champion!
Stann Quinn - Champion!

That's a wrap here at Harvey's Lake Tahoe. Congratulations to former IT management worker turned poker professional Stan Quinn for taking down the WSOP Circuit Main Event here in cold and snowy Lake Tahoe!

The final table began with Michael Traylor holding a big chip lead. Traylor had a lot of ups and downs all day long and eventually fell in third place. When he went out, things didn't take long at all between Quinn and John McNeilly.

McNeilly had battled all the way down to two players, but couldn't overcome the pocket jacks of Quinn with his {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} after the money went in on the eight-high flop. McNeilly placed second just one year after he finished ninth in this same WSOP Circuit event. That's quite the two-year run for him, an excellent, excellent job.

Quinn is the only player at this final table that previously cashed in the WSOP Main Event. He did so this year, finishing in 549th place. He can now add this big win to his poker record. A whopping $86,789 goes to him for winning along with a seat in the $1,000,000 National Championship Freeroll at the end of the season. He also claims the shiny gold WSOP-C championship ring.

That wraps up PokerNews' coverage of this event from Harvey's Lake Tahoe. We've always got plenty of live reporting going on, so be sure to stay tuned to all of our coverage. Other than that, thanks for following along and hopefully we'll be seeing you on the tournament trail down the road!
