The Battle of Los Angeles was on at the famed Bicycle Casino earlier this week as a pair of poker legends were duking it out in hopes of collecting their first WSOP Circuit rings.

Poker superstar Antonio Esfandiari, the 2012 WSOP Big One for One Drop winner, defeated 2006 WSOP Main Event Champion Jamie Gold for the Circuit title. The win was "The Magician's" first since collecting his third World Series of Poker gold bracelet, winning a No-Limit Hold'em event during the presentation of the 2012 WSOP Europe in Cannes, France ... Bryn Kenney, Team Manager of the Global Poker League's New York Rounders, finished 8th in the event.
