Michael Reed Wins Seniors Event Gold Ring
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Horseshoe Hammond to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $2,200 High Roller; however, those are just two of more than a dozen gold ring events that will 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 #3: $400 Seniors NLH, 211 entrants created a $69,630 prize pool that was paid out to the top 32 players including Frank Ray (10th - $1,142), Jacquelyn Kalin (16th - $821), and Henry Chow (23rd - $651), just to name a few.
In the end, Michael Reed of Terre Haute, Indiana bested Chicago��s Reginald Johnson in heads-up play to win the title for $16,878 and a shiny gold ring.
