Three WSOPC Main Events Hit Final Tables Simultaneously

Three WSOP Circuit Main Events reached final tables within hours of each other: Joseph Ziniel shares the lead at Caesars New Orleans, Simon Steedman tops the counts in Montevideo, and Eli Cohen paces a six-handed final at Playground in Montreal.

Caesars New Orleans — $1,700 Main Event ($500K GTD)

Joseph Ziniel and Alexander Jones are knotted at 40,000 chips atop the WSOPC Caesars New Orleans Main Event. Randy Van (40,000) and Christopher Guzzardo (38,100) sit close behind. A WSOP Circuit ring and a share of the $500,000 guarantee are on the line.

Casino Carrasco Montevideo — $1,700 Main Event

Simon Steedman leads the WSOPC Casino Carrasco Montevideo Main Event with 51,000 chips. Fernando Santin (50,000) and Hernan Panutti (47,000) — both from Argentina — are within striking distance. Pamela Balzano (45,600) and Uruguay's Antonio Temponi Rodriguez (44,100) round out the top five in one of the tightest final-table chip distributions you'll see.

Playground — $2,500 Main Event

The WSOPC Playground Main Event is down to six players with a perfectly flat chip structure — Eli Cohen, Benjamin Clayton Samarian, John Hewgill, David Ormsby, and Alexandre Fournier all sit at 50,000. Fournier carries the most prior tournament earnings among them at $70,047. None of the six finalists holds a prior WSOP Circuit ring.

All three rings are expected to be awarded by end of day May 22.
