WSOP Winner Charles Sylvestre Wins WSOPC Casino du Lac-Leamy

Earlier this year, Charles Sylvestre won the WSOP $1,000 No Limit Hold’em event for $491,360 and now the Canadian pro has added a World Series of Poker Circuit title to his tally after beating out a field of 371 players to claim the $122,435 first-place prize.
Following his impressive victory at the Casino du Lac-Leamy in Gatineau, Quebec, Sylvestre commented: “After my unexpected WSOP bracelet this summer, to come back here to Lac-Leamy, my hometown, and ship the ring, I can’t ask for better. It’s an amazing feeling.”
The $1,675 WSOPC Main Event attracted a good-sized field to create a  prize pool worth $556,500, with the top 45 players being paid. On the 3rd day of the competition after the final table was set, Charles Sylvestre (K-4) then proceeded to eliminate a short-stacked Bryan Moon (8-7) in 7th ($18,398), while John Nelson did likewise to Mike Leah in 5th ($30,953), and Dinara Khaziyeva in 3rd ($55,283), to usher in the heads-up phase of the tournament.
As the final battle commenced, Nelson held a more than 2-1 chip lead over his final opponent, but Sylvestre was subsequently able to take the lead before the defining hand was played with Nelson (6s-3s) bluffing all-in on a Jd-9s-2c-5c-2h board, only to be called by  Sylvestre holding 2c-4c. Consequently, John Nelson had to be satisfied with a runner-up finish worth $75,656, while Charles Sylvestre was crowned the 2013 Casino Lac-Leamy champion.
Commenting on his latest win, Sylvestre, said: “I started the heads-up with about 30 percent of the chips, but I knew one double up would get me right back in. I had my double and I managed to ship it. I’m very happy. The bracelet is like the best possible thing, but [the ring] is another nice reward. I’m really happy to add it to my poker resume.”
