World Series of Poker Circuit Event
Spadavecchia Captures WSOPC
Out of 209 players that started Mon. May 8, 2006, the final table of 9 battled it out intensely at Caesars Palace and when all was said and done it came down to 2 crucial pots where John Spadavecchia overcame the formidable QQ twice, first against Bill Baxter, eliminated in 5th place, when John's pocket 6's improved to a set on the turn, then against Ralph Perry, eliminated in 3rd place when John's K9 caught a K on the flop. Runner-up was Sean McCabe, chip leader going into the final table, but plagued by a 3-1 chip deficit heads up against Spadavecchia.

Both areas are bustling with activity during the World Series of Poker Circuit event.
