Luke Graham Captures 2nd Career Ring with Event #6: $400 NLH Victory
While PokerNews is only live reporting the High Roller and Main Event tournaments at the World Series of Poker Circuit Foxwoods stop, there have been plenty of other side events playing out all week long.
One of them was Event #6: $400 No-Limit Hold’em One-Day, a tournament that attracted 237 runners and offered up a $78,210 prize pool.
Among those to get a piece of it but fall short of making the final table were Linda Swears (12th - $1,267), Michael Rosner (16th - $899), Henry Valentine (19th - $782), Calvin Ma (27th - $633), and Michael Hashim (36th - $547).
In the end, it was Luke Graham coming out on top to win $18,364 and his second gold ring.
“It feels great,” said Graham while commenting on his strategy. “Playing a lot more hands than I used to.”
