Tournament Notes:
This is the second-largest Casino Employees Poker World Championship in history. The 2006 event had slightly more participants.
Because of the large size of the field, play went long on Day Two. The finalists played nearly 14 hours. The tournament concluded at 6:00 am.
The winner was Frederick Narciso. He collected $104,701 for first place. He also finished 27th in this same event last year.
A more comprehensive profile of the Event #2 champion Frederick Narciso will be released at approximately 12 noon PST today.
