The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Horseshoe Baltimore to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $3,250 High Roller; however, that is just one of more than a dozen gold ring events that have taken place over the past week. As such, we thought we’d profile some of the preliminary tournaments and those who struck it big.

In the first $250 Seniors NLH Event, 121 runners created a $24,200 prize pool that was paid out to the top 19 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Sheri Moores (10th - $464), Jeff Ball (15th - $401), and Carol Grissom (19th - $330), just to name a few.

It was 67-year-old Bernard Maiden of Randallstown, Maryland who ultimately finished as the last player standing, good for $6,595 and a gold ring. Maiden, who is nicknamed “Mr. Possibilities,” has been married for 30 years and has spent the last 15 years working for the government.
