The WSOP Circuit Harrah's Atlantic City 2012 Event #2A kicked off Friday with 326 registrants.  Another 400 players entered in Day 1B of this event, thus creating a hefty prizepool and top ROI for the champion of this $365 event.  Players eliminated during the first day of play were permitted to re-enter in Day 1B.  Late registration remains open through five levels, or roughly until 2:45 p.m.

The two starting fields combine Sunday to play to a winner.

Jacob Coker was the first winner of this WSOP Circuit 2012-2013 series at Harrah’s.  He walked away with $35,000 and some change along with a WSOP Circuit gold ring and the early lead in the Casino Champion's Race. This is Philadelphia resident Coker’s biggest win to date. 

The final table for this event lasted more than 8 hours.

1 - Jacob Coker $35,033
2 – Brian Benden $21,660
