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 #11: $400 No-Limit Hold’em One-Day, 219 runners generated a $72,270 prize pool that was distributed amongst the top 33 players. Among those to cash were Aaron Gamino (4th - $5,384), Walker Miskelly (8th - $1,818), Kip Jones (17th - $877), Gregory Skye (23rd - $704), and Tiffany Keathley (31st - $614).

In the end, 32-year-old Brandon Smith of Decatur, Alabama beat Kristi Garcia in heads-up play to win the title, a $16,971 top prize, and his first gold ring.

“I’m pretty pumped. I’ve just been playing online in my free time, I never play live, so I felt like it was kind of due. It’s probably the fourth or fifth event I’ve ever played,” Smith said after his win. “I grew up playing five and seven-card stud with my dad when I was five, six years old so I’ve been playing forever. But I’ve only started really trying in the last little bit.”
