Michael Wang Ships Second Ring of the WSOP Circuit Baltimore Stop
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 Event #8: $600 No-Limit Hold��em, 103 entrants created a $53,045 prize pool that was paid out to the top 15 players including Hank Sitton (11th - $1,075), Patrick Lacey (13th - $947), and Martin Borras (15th - $947).
For the second time at the stop, it was WSOP bracelet winner Michael Wang coming out on top. He previously topped a field of 101 runners to win Event #5: $400 NLH 6-Handed for $9,522 and his first ring. Days later, he won Event #8 for $15,156 and his second gold ring.
The 31-year-old from Livingston, New Jersey also vaulted into the points lead in the race for WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Baltimore Casino Champ.
