Tony the Tiger: Southern California poker pro Tony Abesamis becomes WSOP Circuit’s second two-time winner


Two months ago, Tony Abesamis arrived at the Harrah’s Rincon WSOPC tournament and won the first event, netting $35,950. Most impressive was the fact that Abesamis topped a huge field of 639 players. Now, at Lake Tahoe’s $2,000 buy-in no-limit event, on the eve of the $10,000 buy-in championship, Abesamis has done it again.

The W. Covina, CA-based poker pro topped a field of 133 players and carved out his share of $258,020 in the prize pool. First place paid $92,895. Abesamis now has two gold rings on this year’s World Series of Poker Circuit. He states that he will be shooting for his third gold ring at Harrah’s New Orleans later this month. Alan Schein, who won events in both Atlantic City and Rincon is the only other player with two WSOPC victories.
