Andy "Doc" Philachack went from short stack to winner at the final table of the World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event at Choctaw Casino Resort for $393,188.
The win proved Philachack's second WSOP Circuit Main Event victory after taking down one in New Orleans — when the buy-in was $5,150 rather than $1,675 — back in 2007. He now has more than $2 million in career cashes.
