WSOP Atlantic City Circuit Championship

Despite cold and rainy weather the poker players came out of the woodwork to take part in the World Series of Poker Atlantic City Circuit Championship. Last year there were 237 players, so this year's turn out of 244 was an upswing, with a total prize pool of $1,195,600. Last year's champion Rick Rossetti rubbed shoulders with the likes of TV talk show host Montel Williams, while players with less well known names did their best to outshine them with their poker skills. The players compete for a huge cash prize, a gold and diamond championship ring and a seat into the 2008 WSOP.
