Also joining Sandling in Atlantic City will be Casino Champion Juan Mendoza. Mendoza celebrated his own success aside from his winnings (totalling over $24,000) by becoming the first ever back-to-back circuit event winner at the same stop in the tour.
Harrah’s Cherokee hosted just under 14,000 participants in the twelve day tournament. By the end of the tournament, the prize pool had inflated to a whopping $4.5 million in winnings.
The 2013-2014 Circuit tour wraps up at Harrah’s New Orleans in May, with the three-day National Championship beginning May 22 at Ballys, Atlantic City . Visit WSOP.com for a full list of events.
