Scott Stewart won the WSOPC Main Event
American reg Scott Stewart won the WSOP Circuit Main Event, earning $125,279 and his 9th gold ring of the series. The final showdown will be remembered for a comeback and the biggest oddity of the whole series on the second-to-last hand.
In the heads-up, Stewart was initially down more than 2:1 in chips. The turning point came in a key hand when his opponent Tyler Parker tried to run a big bluff on the river. Mulling over his decision, Scott jokingly "consulted" a bottle of bourbon, took a sip, and called, exposing his opponent's bluff. That hand left his rival with no chances, and soon the American took the title.
