PokerNews is in town to live report the $1,700 Main Event here at the World Series of Poker Circuit at Horseshoe Tunica, but that is just one of the gold ring events that will have played out by the end of the series.

In Event #7: $400 Monster Stack, 738 entrants created a $243,540 prize pool that was paid out to the top 107 places. Among those to make deep runs were Scott Stewart (6th - $7,817), Joel Klipping (11th - $3,121), Michael Lech (14th - $2,612), Heather Alcorn (19th - $2,001), Hamid Izadi (22nd - $1,819), and Michael Sanders (31st - $1,382).

In the end, Walker Miskelly of Tupelo, Mississippi defeated Jesse Greer in heads-up play to win the title, $43,209 in prize money, and his first gold ring.

“I’m super excited. Right when we got to the final table, I came in second in chips and I went 0 for 2 on the first two flips. I went down to about 13 big blinds at one point, then I doubled with aces against queens and I just didn’t really looked back from there,” Miskelly said after his win.

The 27-year-old added: “When I came into heads-up play, I only had 5 million to his 17 million. I had a lot of work to do there, but I knew I had to be the aggressor and keep applying pressure.”
