After two days of play, the World Series of Poker Circuit Tunica event championship was down to a final table. These were the 9 players who had survived the 96 player starting field.
1. Paul Wasicka - 454,000
2. Shane Zell - 336,500
3. Dwyte Pilgrim - 322,000
4. Richard Robb - 224,500
5. Carter Phillips - 200,000
6. Larry Gurney - 137,500
7. Matt Stout - 102,500
8. Jerry Saucier - 77,000

Even though Paul Wasicka had a quite big chip lead, he would have to fight really, really hard to beat the remaining field, as it included EPT Barcelona winner Carter Phillips, two time WSOP Circuit ring winner Dwyte Pilgrim and Matt "Allin420" Stout who has won almost $1 million in different live tournaments. Add this to the fact that Paul Wasicka has been running really bad in the past 2 years and recently started working with a mind-set coach to deal with his bad results.
When the final table had been running for a while, there was no doubt that Paul Wasicka's help from the mind-set coach had paid off. He played much more focused and made very few mistakes. Everything worked out for him on the final table and it didn't take long before he got his long-awaited win!
