The board comes 8♠ 6♥ 5♦ 2♣ 9♠ and Adam Weinraub takes down the pot and the tournament with ace-high!
For winning the WPT Celebrity Invitational, Weinraub will receive $100,000 cash, as well as an entry into the $25,000 WPT Championship event at Bellagio, a trophy, and a slick WPT chip set, while Cernuto will take home $50,000. Congratulations to both finalists!

How the West was Lost

Adam Weinraub raises to $30,000 from the small blind and Tim West comes over the top all-in for $510,000 more. Weinraub makes the call and shows K♥ Q♦ to West’s A♥ 3♣. The flop is a beast, coming A♦ K♦ Q♥ and giving Weinraub two pair while pairing West’s ace. The turn is the 8♦ and the river is the T♥ and Tim West has been eliminated in third place. He takes home $20,000 for his finish.

Action folds around to David Mosikian in the small blind, who moves all-in for an additional $100,000. Adam Weinraub calls in the big blind with A♣ 7♥ and Mosikian shows K♠ Q♠. The board comes J♣ 8♣ 8♥ T♠ 6♥, and despite turning the inside straight draw, Mosikian cannot beat ace-high after fifth street and heads to the rail in fourth place. He takes home $15,000.
Alpha Dog Put Down
5 years ago
Adam Weinraub calls from the cut-off and Nick Cassavetes checks his option in the big blind. The flop comes K♥ K♠ 2♦ and Cassavetes checks to Weinraub, who bets out $60,000. In retaliation, Cassavetes demands a blue “all-in” button. Weinraub quickly calls, and Cassavetes shows T♣ 7♥ while Weinraub shows K♦ J♣. The turn card is the 4♠ and the river is the A♠, and Nick Cassavetes has been eliminated in fifth place. The “Alpha Dog” director will take home $10,000 and, as the last celebrity standing, will receive $10,000 from the Commerce Casino to donate to the charity of his choice.
Morshower Dries Up
5 years ago
Action folds around to Glenn Morshower, who completes in the small blind, and “Miami” John Cernuto checks in the big blind. The flop comes 9♦ 5♥ 2♦ and both players check. The turn is the K♥ and Morshower checks to Cernuto, who bets $230,000, enough to put Morshower all-in. After a moment’s thought, the actor leans forward and says, “you have to make a move sometime,” pushing his stack into the middle and turning up 9♣ 7♠ for a pair of nines. Cernuto shows K♦ 5♠ for two pair, and after the river is the A♦, Glenn Morshower has been eliminated in sixth place, taking home $5,000 for his efforts.
