The 2009 Festa al Lago hosted a $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. which was held at the Bellagio in Las Vegas was won by poker pro Howard Lederer. Lederer won the event this past Thursday and he brings home a first place cash prize of $92,150. This was Howard’s fourth tournament win at the Bellagio and he had to go through a tough field to do it. Some players who were in the field consist of Andy Bloch, Scott Clements, and Eli Elezra (just to name a few). It’s pretty obvious to me why Howard Lederer gets the respect that he does.

If you don’t know where Marrakech is then I would suggest getting a map but my resources tell me it’s in Africa. Day 1 of the event started with 416 players and there are only 151 survivors heading into Day 2. The World Poker Tour has partnered up with ChiliPoker to bring this lucrative event to Marrakech and hopefully future tournaments will continue to follow in their footsteps. The players came from all over the world racking up more than 30 countries (PokerNews) to have played in this event. Not too shabby for the first WPT event in Marrakech.

As the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas is starting to wrap up their events, the World Series of Poker Circuit events are only just beginning.

Other tournaments include Omaha, H.O.R.S.E., and a special tournament for all those ladies out there.
