WSOP-C Atlantic City

Champion Gary Martin

The final event of the WSOP Circuit's return to Atlantic City after a 5-year hiatus ended just after 12 hours of play on Monday night as Gary Martin of Salisbury, MD closed it out for $18,298.

Sporting a New York Yankees hat and a flashy "I live my ladies" shurt, the 57-year old Martin entered a lively and talkative final table as chip leader as everyone seemed to be in in a good mood to make it so far in the final event.

 Martin was able to ride the chip lead to his first ring as the final table took a little more than 2 hours to finish.

This win makes for the largest of Martin's poker career by some margin as his previous best cash was for just over $4K.

Champion David Kilcoyne Jr

David Kilcoyne Jr won Event #16 for $29,000 in the afternoon on Monday on his birthday in the shadow on the Main Event.

Turning 49 years old today, Kilcoyne entered Day 2 as one of the clustered big stacks at the top and emerged as the front runner after a good start to the day.

The accomplished player from Holland, PA had nearly $400K in career earnings prior to this win and will now surge past that milestone.

His first ring makes for the second-largest score of his career, only short of a $40K score in 2016
