Christopher Bonn Wins World Series of Poker Circuit Harrahs Philadelphia Main Event

The World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah’s Philadelphia Main Event wrapped up Monday night with Christopher Bonn emerging victorious, having conquered the 321-player field to take home his first WSOPC gold ring, a seat in the National Championship, and $109,760 in cold hard cash.

Bonn’s route to victory came through a challenging final table. Tuan Phan was pushing the action from the get-go, involving himself in a majority of the pots and raking in pile after pile of chips. But his aggression got the best of him in a hand against Ken Silverstein.

Phan 3-bet Silverstein on the button, prompting a 4-bet which Phan just called. The flop came Ad-Js-4s and Silverstein lead out for just over 2/3 pot. Phan quickly moved all-in and was snap-called by Silverstein who tabled pocket aces. Phan showed Ts-5s for the flush draw, but received no help from the dealer who brought the 3d and the Ac to the turn and river.

Silverstein would later finish as runner-up, taking home $67,863 after a short heads up match in which he hemorrhaged chips by folding repeatedly to Bonn’s aggressive betting, finally committing his stack with A-9, which failed to hold up agains Bonn’s dominated K-9.
