Irishman Sylvester Geoghegan yesterday continued his good run of form with a fourth-place finish in the World Series of Poker Circuit event in Harveys Lake Tahoe. He picked up $56,955 for his final-table finish but is likely to be disappointed at being knocked out ahead of the big money.
The event was won by Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, who collected more than $204,000 for beating the other 141 players who each paid $5,000 to play the event.
Geoghegan has been knocking on the door of a big win in recent times, finishing 122nd in the WSOP main event, 13th in the WSOP pot-limit Omaha championship event, and 21st in the European Poker Tour, Barcelona.
The casino owner's tournament winnings for 2007 exceed $200,000, and he was the only European player to make the money at the Circuit event.
