DAVID CLARK KICKS OFF A TEXAS-SIZED
CIRCUIT SERIES

Almost halfway through the newly revamped World Series of Poker Circuit events, things
are really starting to heat up. Thirty players have already locked up their seats to the
National Championship to be held in May.  Kevin Calenzo heads the tournament
leaderboard with an impressive 165 points. However, with nine stops left on the tour,
including two more regional championships, players are really starting to jockey for position
to make their run at a $1,000,000 prize pool and a WSOP bracelet.

The next stop on the circuit is an exciting one. For the first time, the WSOP Circuit hits the
great state of Oklahoma. Taking place at the incredible Choctaw Resort and Casino and just
over an hour from the poker hungry town of Dallas, the Choctaw stop promised to one of
the most thrilling and action packed of the year.

The first event did not disappoint. With players literally lined up out in the casino to try and
get registered, T.J. Cloutier gave the “Shuffle Up and Deal” announcement and cards were
in the air. When registration finally closed, a total of 935 entered the first ring event of the
series. The $345 No-Limit Hold ‘em event would end up paying a total of 99 spots with first
place taking home $50,921.

At the end of the first day, a total of 63 players moved on, including T.J. Cloutier himself.
However, the short-stacked Cloutier could not put a run together and was eliminated in
62nd place.

After over eight hours of play on Day 2, the final table was finally set. The chip counts by
seat assignment going into the final table were as follows:

10th Place - $3,952

Circuit veteran Howard “Tahoe” Andrew came into the final table extremely short stacked
and finally made an all-in shove with Qs-3c. However, Ernest Bell woke up with Ah-Qc and
made the call. The board ran out Ad-Kd-3s-10c-2s and the Walnut Creek, California native
was sent to the rail in tenth place.

9th Place - $4,908

With the elimination of Andrew, Renaldo Cantu Jr. became the resident short stack. After a
raise by A.J. Sporinsky, Cantu pushed all in with Ah-Qd. Sporinsky thought for a moment
before making the call with 10d-10h. The race was on until the board came 10s-3h-2c-8s-4,
giving Sporinsky a set and the pot. Cantu, a 29-year old from McAllen, Texas, finished in
ninth place.

8th Place - $6,170

Despite knocking out Howard Andrew early at the final table, Ernest Bell took a few hits to
his stack and found himself short on chips. He pushed all in with As-5c and was called by
Shawn Halwes with pocket tens. The board ran out clean for Halwes and the welder from
Magnolia, Texas was knocked out in eighth place.

7th Place - $7,848

Don Icawat was the next player to try and double up his stack. The geophysicist from
Austin, Texas moved all in with Ac-2c and was ahead of A.J. Sporinsky’s Qc-Jc. However, the
flop came out Qh-9s-8d, giving Sporinsky a commanding lead in the hand. Neither the 2s on
the turn or the 3h on the river were enough to keep Icawat in the game, eliminating him in
seventh place.

6th Place - $10,106

Josh Evans came into the final table in third chip position but was the unfortunate recipient
of the final table’s first cooler hand. He got into a raising war with A.J. Sporinsky that ended
up with all of their chips in the center. Evans tabled Jh-Js but Sporinsky turned up Qc-Qd.
Since it’s never easy, the flop came out Kc-10s-9c. Both players were now rooting for their
opponent’s card. But the 5h on the turn and the 5s on the river brought no help, sending
the Plano, Texas native home in sixth place.

5th Place – $13,174

Having battled with few chips most of the final table, Doug Gerda finally made a stand with
Kd-2d. He ran into David Clark’s Ad-Qd though and would not be able to improve on a
board of 8h-8s-5c-10d8d. The Colleyville, Texas resident was eliminated in fifth place for
$13,174.

4th Place – $17,389

A.J. Sporinsky was again the beneficiary of the second cooler hand at the final table. After a
raise, Chris Nash moved all in with his pocket sixes only to be called by Sporinsky and his
pocket nines. Most of the drama was gone after a flop of 9d-5d-5c gave Sporinsky a full
house. Nash would need running sixes to win the pot or running fives to chop. The turn
gave Nash the faintest glimmer of hope when the 5h hit the board. However, the 7d on the
river sealed Nash’s fate and the Dallas, Texas native was sent home in fourth place.

3rd Place – $23,240

Sporinsky was second in chips when he tangled with chipleader David Clark. After seeing
flop of Jc-9c-8d, Sporinsky moved all in and was immediately called by Clark. Sporinsky
turned up Js-10c for top pair and an open-ended straight draw but Clark was in the lead
with Qc-Qs. The turn was the 6c and the river was the 8h. Sporinsky missed all of his outs
and the massive pot was shipped to David Clark. The Chicago, Illinois native was sent to
the rail in third place for $23,240.

2nd Place - $31,487

With just over 9.3 million chips on the table, David Clark held around 7 million of them when
heads-up play between himself and Shawn Halwes began. It didn’t take long for the two to
mix it up. On a flop of Ac-5d-2c, Halwes moved all in and was snap called by Clark. Halwes
turned up Ad-Qh for top pair but Clark flipped over Ah-5h for two pair. The 5c came on the
turn, improving Clark to a full house and the river was the Js. Halwes, a software developer
from Euless, Texas, was eliminated from the tournament in second place for $31,487.

1st Place - $50,921

David Clark, a 32-year-old poker player from Dallas, took down the $345 NLHE event after
nearly 13 hours of play at the final table. For his victory, he took home the $50,921 in first
place prize money as well as the first WSOP Circuit Ring of the Choctaw series. He also
earned 50 points toward the National Championship and takes an early lead in the
Choctaw series points race.

Nine more Ring events still await this eager crowd of poker players here at the Choctaw
Resort and Casino!
