Paul Vogel Earns Well Deserved Victory
Amateur Poker Player from Merrick, NY Wins WSOP Circuit Event,
$61,599 and Gold Ring at Caesars Atlantic City
Generous Tournament Structure at WSOP Circuit Continues to
Gain Positive Feedback
Atlantic City, NJ – Paul Vogel, a 42 year old information systems manager from Merrick, NY
won his first major poker tournament today. He won the $1,000 (+80) buy in No Limit
Hold’em tournament held at Caesars Atlantic City. Vogel collected the top cash prize
totaling $61,599. He was also presented with his first gold ring, which is the ultimate
token of achievement given out to all tournament champions who win WSOP Circuit events
held around the country.
The father of five considers himself to be a recreational poker player. But he has
aspirations of improving and doing big things in the game. Vogel plays online primarily.
However, he has competed in the WSOP Main Event twice. This marked Vogel’s first
major victory ever and was the biggest payday of his career, so far.
This marked the seventh of 12 WSOP Circuit events on this year’s Caesars schedule. The
two-day tournament attracted 196 entrants. Most of the field was eliminated on day one,
which clocked in at 14 hours. Four tables of survivors returned for day two which played
another 18 hours. The top 18 finishers divided up prize money from a $190,120 prize pool.
Final table play began on a Wednesday night and was held inside the Palladium Arena at
Caesars. There were no previous WSOP Circuit winners among the final nine, thus
guaranteeing a first time champion. Paul Vogel arrived as chip leader and was in a
comfortable position throughout the competition. He faced serious threats from various
challengers, but never lost his chip lead at any point during the nine hour finale.
The low blinds (2,500-5,000) and average chip stack of 165,000 at the start gave all
competitors plenty of time to be patient and wait for a hand. In fact, the tournament
structures for all the tournaments played at Caesars this year have received
overwhelmingly positive feedback from many players and postings at online poker forums.
Tournament players have been given plenty of starting chips and blind increases have
been incremental, allowing for skillful play to overcome the short-term luck factor which
is a part of all tournaments. This has resulted in several lengthy final tables, which have
lasted 8 to 10 hours on average.
The nine finalists and their starting chip counts were as follows:
Seat Player Hometown Chip Count
1 Anthony J. Tannoya Woodbridge, VA 140,000
2 Bruce F. MacGregor Port Orange, FL 293,500
3 Kenneth Packer Fayetteville, NC 130,000
4 David Zeitlin Brooklyn, NY 129,500
5 Brandon Croft Sumter, SC 271,500
6 Paul Vogel Merrick, NY 405,000
7 Keith Crowder Philadelphia, PA 275,500
8 Pete White Jersey City, NJ 135,000
9 Eugene Castro New York, NY 98,000
Final table player introductions can be seen here: http://www.twitvid.com/7507E
Players were eliminated in the following order:
Ninth Place: Castro Overthrown
Eugene Castro, a poker professional from New York City, was the first player eliminated.
He was short stacked and got all his chips into the pot with the best hand. But his A J
ended up losing to K J when a K flopped. Castro is the founder of an organization called
Poker Player International. He has earned three major tournament victories, and has over
20 cashes in his tournament career. He finished in the money in last year’s WSOP Main
Event held in Las Vegas. Ninth place paid $3,802.
Eighth Place: White Goes Dark
Pete White (a.k.a. Pedro Vicente), a recreational poker player from Jersey City, NJ was
making his second final table appearance so far at this year’s Caesars series. He took
fifth place in an event played just three days ago. This time, White finished in eighth place
after being low on chips and moving in on a steal attempt. He was called by pocket 10’s
which ended up scooping the pot. White added $5,704 to his poker bankroll and remains
a player to watch for the remaining events to be played here in Atlantic City.
Seventh Place: Tannoya Out
Anthony J. Tannoya, a computer engineer from Woodbridge, VA went out in seventh place.
He survived about two hours at the final table before finally running out of chips. The
former Air Force serviceman flew away with $7,605 in prize money.
Sixth Place: Big Draw Misses
Bruce F. MacGregor, a land developer from Port Orange, FL was eliminated after he missed
a monster draw, and went bust. MacGregor had A 10 suited and flopped a flush draw as
well as a straight draw. But two bricks on the turn and river ended his tournament life.
MacGregor, who is a Vietnam veteran, pocketed a nice score to the tune of $9,506. His
previous tournament accomplishments include a win at a major event held in Costa Rica,
as well as 14 other cashes in major tournaments throughout the U.S.
Fifth Place: Brooklyn Pro Can Fuggetaboutit
David Zeitlin, a poker pro from Brooklyn, NY took two beats late and lost most of his stack.
He finally moved all in on what turned out to be his final hand, holding pocket 4’s. He was
called by an opponent with A J, who caught an A. The pretty much ended Zeitlin’s night.
The 36 year old pro collected $11,407.
Fourth Place: Packer Sent Packing
Kenneth Packer, a 39 year old self employed part-time poker pro from North Carolina, took
a brutal beat on his final hand. His stack was slightly below average and after the chip
leader made a raise, Packer moved all in with pocket K’s. He got a call, and looked to be in
great shape to double up. But the board came with four clubs, and the chip leader’s Ac
played to make the nut flush. Packer was disappointed with the result but could certainly
be proud of the cash prize for fourth place, which amounted to $15,210. Packer noted
that he mostly plays in cash games, and has been a winning player for the past ten years.
Third Place: Adult Nightclub Manager Gets Last Call
Brandon Croft, who manages an adult nightclub in South Carolina, was bounced from the
final table when he tried to bluff on the river following a missed flush draw. He ran into
Paul Vogel’s set of 5’s, who called the bluff instantly. Croft had battled for nearly three
hours when play was at three handed, but finally succumbed to the temptation to try and
steamroll his opponent, at what turned out to be the worst possible moment. This was
Croft’s second final table appearance in a WSOP Circuit event at Caesars. He collected his
biggest payday ever, at $19,012.
Second Place: Crowder Crushed
Keith Crowder, a 39 year old real estate investor from Philadelphia, PA was certainly a
tough adversary. He was able to draw very close to even in chips at one point when play
was heads up. In fact, the determined duo played nearly 100 hands together and battled
for about three hours before Crowder ultimately lost his final hand holding A Q to a pair of
8’s. Crowder picked up a big draw after the flop, but missed twice, which gave the last pot
of the night to Paul Vogel. Crowder’s take of the prize pool amounted to $32,320. He has
previously made it to other final tables at major poker tournaments played elsewhere. But
this was his best WSOP related finish, to date.

the first time and officially collected $61,599 in prize money.
