PokerNews is in town to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $2,200 High Roller here at the World Series of Poker Circuit Rio Las Vegas, but those are just three of the gold ring events that will have played out by the end of the series.
In Event #6: $400 NLH Double Stack Turbo, 238 runners offered up a $78,540 prize pool that was paid out to the top 36 players. Among those to cash were Brett Murray (3rd - $7,936), Michael Rossitto (7th - $2,489), Dylan Thomassie (9th - $1,574), Max Pescatori (15th - $1,084), Darren Rabinowitz (19th - $816), and Brian Reinert (31st - $615).
Coming out on top was Gregory Hughes, who captured a $18,015 first-place prize and his first gold ring.
“It feels really good, and it feels especially good being as low in chips as I was and being able to come back, that feels great,” Hughes said after the win.
According to WSOP officials, the one-day turbo event started at noon and got down to a final table after seven hours of poker action.
“When we had three tables I was down to 8000 chips, but I tripled, then doubled and just rolled from there. It was almost like it was meant to be,” Hughes explained. “I have been playing poker for a while but it has never been the only thing I do. Then the business I worked at got sold, so I had an opportunity to take some time off for three or four months to play poker, and three months later I got a ring.”
