WSOP Circuit - Josh Arieh dominates the Championship Event in New Orleans

Josh Arieh dominated the first two days of the WSOPC Championship Event in the Harrah's Casino in New Orleans and reached the final table with a huge chiplead.

Day one and two are already played in the Harrah's and the final table of the World Series of Poker Circuit Championship Event is all set. Josh
Arieh, two-time WSOP bracelet winner, had a fascinating run and is chipleader with 500,000 chips. Arieh already finished day 1 as chipleader with 157,700 chips.

The defending champion Lou Esposito also reached the final table. But he is short stack with 20,500 chips and has a difficult starting position. David Fox, second with 324,000 chips, and Tim McCollom, third with 252,000 chips, have a better starting position for the final table.

160 players participated in the tournament and paid a buy-in of $5.000. The total prize pool is $765,000. The 18th place determined the end of the bubble and a prize of $9,180. But the players pooled expenses meaning that the unlucky 19th David
Kopacz got his buy-in back. On the first day the field was reduced to 50 players. On day two the 9 players for the final table were determined. The winner will get $247,860.
