After coming into the final table as one of the shorter stacks, Ryan McAllister was able to steadily accumulate chips and take down his first Circuit ring in the $365 no-limit hold'em six-max event.
The poker dealer from Charleston, SC defeated a field of 555 entries to win $40,793, which is the biggest score of his poker career. He defeated John Shepherd heads-up to take down the event. McAllister deals, but hopes to be able to play more poker in the future.

After 21 levels of play, the 555 entries in the $365 no-limit hold'em
six-max event has been trimmed down to its final 16 players and Hamid
Izadi is leading the pack. Izadi finished the day with 895,000 and has a
nice chip lead over the field. Robert Reedd, his closest competitor,
finished the day with 718,000 and will start Day 2 in second.
There were several players in the event who were already qualified to
play in Tuesday's Global Casino Championship, but many of them busted
before the day's finish. Gregory Armand, however, will have to jump into
the GCC after he finishes his run in this event. Armand finished the
day in the middle of the pack.
The top 60 players were paid and when play starts tomorrow, the
levels will be 45 minutes long and everybody is guaranteed a cash of at
least $16,12. By the end of the day, someone will take home the Circuit
ring and the $40,785 that goes with it. Day 2 gets cards in the air at 1
p.m. on Tuesday.
Here are a look at the chip counts for the final 16 players:

Level 9 is underway and that means that registration is now closed
for the $365 no-limit hold'em six-max event. The fifth event of the
series attracted 555 entries and it's another event at this stop that
blew away its guaranteed prizepool.
The 555 entries generated a prizepool of $166,500, blowing away the
$50,000 guarantee. The top 60 players will secure an in-the-money
finish and the eventual winner will take home $40,785.
