2006 Harrah's Atlantic City WSOP Circuit Championship Event Report

Ray Lin Leads Harrah’s Atlantic City
Circuit Championship After Day One

A total of 66 players were left at the end of day one of the $4,900 + $250
main event of the Harrah’s WSOP Circuit tour at Harrah’s Atlantic City. Ray
Lin, with 108,100 chips, had the lead.

This event attracted a field of 237 players, nearly double the total for the
Circuit event here this past February, which had a $9,700 + $300 buy-in.
Some of the better-known names who showed up were Phil Gordon (who
earlier gave a seminar), Mickey Appleman, John Myung, Perry Friedman, John
Spadavecchia, Nick Schulman (the current Card Player cover boy), Bernard
Lee and Ed Corrado.

Also in attendance was Nam Le, in a race for Card Player’s “Player of the
Year,” and needing a tournament win to pass Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi.
After busting out at the Bellagio, he caught a cross-country flight to take a
second shot, but didn’t get past the first day. Rounds were 75 minutes with
players starting with 10,000 chips.
