It wasn't going to be easy to win the title at the latest tour stop for the World Series of Poker Circuit. WSOP Circuit Caesars had many of Vegas' best looking for a first win of this very young poker season.
While Sean Getzwiller, Dutch Boyd and Jeff Madsen all finished in the Top 10, it's Kevin Calenzo who stole the show, winning his first Circuit ring.
Calenzo (2011 PTPR Rank: 1367th) earned - by far - the biggest paycheque of his live tournament poker career, collecting just under 200K US with the win.
The aforementioned Getzwiller (2011 PTPR Rank: 67th) finished third in the event. Getzwiller collected a WSOP bracelet over the summer, earning the win in a 1K NLH event - earning over 600K US with the victory.
