The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit main event held in Rincon, San Diego, has been won by Peter Feldman, it has been revealed.

 

Feldman secured the $281,000 first place prize after holding off Davidson Matthew, who went home with just under $150,000.

 

Stiff competition also came in the form of 2006 Poker Player of the Year Gavin Smith, who eventually went out in seventh position.

In winning the tournament Feldman became just the second player to have won two WSOP Circuit competitions, having won an event in New Orleans in May 2006. Chris Ferguson was previously the only player to have won two events.

 

Despite being chip leader as play began at the final table, Feldman insisted he did not feel too confident.

 

“I came in with a lot of chips and that’s kind of a tough situation sometimes. You feel like if you don’t keep accumulating chips you could start pressing things,” he commented.
