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 #8: $600 No-Limit Hold’em attracted 238 runners and created a $122,570 prize pool. That was paid out to the top 36 players including Matt South (4th - $9,001), Blake Barousse (8th - $3,057), Tiffany Keathley (13th - $1,692), Russ Head (20th - $1,274), Brett Apter (23rd - $1,144), and Adam Lamphere (30th - $993).

In the end, Sam Washburn beat Trent Bennett in heads-up play to win the title for $28,101 and his second gold ring (the first came two years ago when he won the WSOPC Horseshoe Tunica Main Event for $188,068). The win came just a couple months after he won the RGPS Hard Rock Tulsa stop.

“This was huge, I wanted to win in Tunica. It was very exciting, there were good players,” Washburn said after his victory. “I’m retired and I play for fun. I’m strictly a recreational player. I probably do seven or eight events a year, that’s about it. But I’ve had a lot of success in the last couple of years, it’s been great.”
