TOURNAMENT REPORT

Californian Tom Cawley likely figured he didn�t stand much of a chance when he found himself going to the final table for the Limit Hold�em opening event at the Bellagio Five Diamond World Poker Classic with one of the shortest stacks of chips. But the Whittier professional whittled his way through the tough competition to pass up chip leader Barry Shulman of Las Vegas and take first-place prize money of $56,648.

Shulman, publisher of the Las Vegas based Card Player bi-monthly poker magazine and rated as one of the top players around, held on for the runner-up money of $28,324. Another Californian, Michael Longo of Garden Grove, finished third for $14,162.

A total of 18 places were paid from the $141,620 prize pool. A first-day total of 146 entries registered for the $1,000 buy-in event.
