Peter Feldman wins second WSOPC ring

Peter Feldman became only player besides Chris Ferguson to own two WSOPC rings yesterday when he triumphed in the World Series of Poker Circuit event from Harrah’s Rincon casino in San Diego.


“Nordberg” as he is known online, won his first WSOPC event in May last year, when he defeated top Canadian pro Gavin Smith in New Orleans. And it was a case of Déjà vu for Smith in San Diego, as Feldman proved his conqueror once again, making quad sevens to knock Smith out in seventh place.

 

Feldman played a solid game throughout this tournament, and arrived on the final table with a decent chip lead. Feldman used it well, keeping himself out of dangerous pots but continually building his stack.

 

Even so, when the heads-up stage was reached he and Davidson Matthew held reasonably equal chip stacks, and the two players remained on an even keel right up until the final hand.

 

On a flop showing As-Kd-Ts Matthews moved all-in, setting Feldman to a decision for almost all of his chips. Feldman went into the tank, and then made the call, showing A-K for top two pair. Matthews, with A-4 was in need of a miracle. Only running fours, running tens or a queen and a jack could save him. But the miracle never happened, and Feldman was a WSOPC champion for a second time.

 

The payouts were as follows:

 

1st Peter Feldman $280,859

2nd  Davidson Matthew  $147,364

3rd  Gavin Griffin  $86,685

4th  Danny Wong $69,348

5th  Erik Cajelais $52,011

6th  Shane Schleger $43,343

7th  Gavin Smith $34,673

8th  Yoon Kim $26,005

9th  Jerry Renfroe  $17,337
