The last sixteen players remaining in the Harrah’s Rincon WSOP Circuit Championship returned yesterday to finish the final day of the tournament. The sixteen players were the last ones remaining of the original 106 players and Esther Taylor would return on Day 2 with the chip lead.
The sixteen players sprung into action and in just two short hours seven players were eliminated. This left the final nine players and each one would get a cut of the $500,000 prize pool. Once everyone knew they were going to finish in the money everyone began to fight for the first place finish.
In the next hour three players would be eliminated. Esther Taylor would hold her chip lead for a while but soon Dwyte Pilgrim would take over. He went from the short stack to the leader in around forty minutes.
When it came down to four handed play, Dwyte was in the lead with more than half the chips left in play. Chris Tryba would exit in fourth place which left Pilgrim, Esther Taylor and Charles Williams. After a few hands, Esther would double up after taking chips from Charles and Charles would be left with the short stack.
Charles then went all in with Ace-high and was called by Pilgrim who held a pocket pair. Pilgrim’s pair gained one more and secured the hand; as well as knocking Charles out of the competition. Pilgrim and Esther were left to compete in heads up play.
Pilgrim held a substantial chip lead over Esther but it would not matter as a deal had been made before heads up play began. The chips were pushed over the Pilgrim’s side of the table and he was named the winner.  Along with his prize money, Dwyte also earned a seat to the 2009 WSOP Main Event as well as $1,000 in travel money and a gold and diamond circuit championship ring.
