Over a hundred people hung around the poker tables at the World Series of Poker Lake Tahoe Circuit Event's $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em main event at Harveys Resort and Casino, watching as Northern Nevadas top players, Tony Le of Reno, who started the day as the overall chip leader, Carson City's Robert Glenn and Genoa's Tony Prestigiacomo were knocked out early on.



Jeff Lisandro from Salerno, Italy, came into the final table with an overall chip lead that kept him afloat to win the WSOP Lake Tahoe Circuit Event No Limit Texas Hold'em championship on May 11th at Harveys Resort and Casino.
