Scott Buller Rides High After Shipping Event #4: $250 PLO8 Ring Event

Scott Buller
Scott Buller

A series of preliminary events have been taking place in the Horseshoe Council Bluffs poker room leading up to this weekend's $575 Main Event, and PokerNews is sharing brief recaps of the week's action.

RunGood Poker Series gave players something different to sink their teeth into with Thursday morning's $250 PLO8 Ring Event, and the event proved to be a rousing success, with 111 entrants hitting the felt to build up a $22,755 prize pool, divvied up between the top 12 players.

Scott Buller, whose very first Hendon Mob recorded cash is a win in a 2001 $250 PLO8 event in Shakopee, Minnesota, added to his over $1.2 million in live tournament earnings with a victory in this event, netting him $6,828 and a RGPS All-Stars Ring. Buller was able to make Day 2 of the $575 Main Event, but he'll have his work cut out for him with a short stack of 41,000.

Raisor's Edge Increases With Big Slick

A player from under the gun bet 3,000 into a pot of 5,000 on a {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, and Philip Raisor made the call on the button.

The under-the-gun player continued for 4,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn, and Raisor called again.

The {a-Clubs} completed the board on the river, and the under-the-gun player fired 5,000. Raisor raised to 15,000, and the under-the-gun player called, showing {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for king-high. That was no good, however, as Raisor held {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} for aces-up and the winner.

Both players checked the {10-Clubs} turn, and the {6-Spades} fell on the river. Russell bet 3,500, and Sheets called. Russell turned over {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for trip tens, and Sheets mucked.

Elliott Gets Another Double

A player opened to 2,600 from under the gun, and Matthew Elliott three-bet shoved for 12,000 next to act. Action folded back to the under-the-gun player, who called.

Matthew Elliott: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Elliott's rockets got no sweat on a {3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} board, and he earned the double.

Hanson's "Not Much" Good Enough

Doc Hanson

A player raised to 1,500 from middle position, and Doc Hanson three-bet shoved for 7,100 from the small blind.

"Not much," he told the table as the dealer counted down the stack. It was enough, however, as both the big blind and the original raiser folded.

"Prettiest card in the deck!" Hanson said, twirling the {a-Spades} up on the felt before raking in the pot.

Adolfo Chavez Ships Event #5: $200 Two Green Chip Bounty Ring Event

Adolfo Chavez

A series of preliminary events have been taking place in the Horseshoe Council Bluffs poker room leading up to this weekend's $575 Main Event, and PokerNews is sharing brief recaps of the week's action.

202 entrants ponied up the $200 entry fee for Event #5: $200 Two Green Chip Bounty Ring Event, in hopes of snagging some $50 bounties on their way to victory. Every player in the tournament had a $50 bounty on their heads, making the action fast and frenzied as players vied for those bounties.

Only 21 players would manage to walk away with a piece of the main prize pool, and after a three-way deal it was Adolfo Chavez who would be crowned the king of the bounties, managing to earn a $6,041 payday on top of the bounties he accrued along the way, the coveted All-Stars Ring, and 25 Casino Championship points.

Ron McMillen in the House!

Ron McMillen in previous action
Ron McMillen in previous action

Ron McMillen recently took his seat in today's Day 1b flight of the $575 Main Event, and he's no stranger to beating large fields. McMillen managed to outlast a 1,026-entry field in last year's WSOP Online Event #3: $400 No Limit Hold'em, earning "MacDaddy15" his first WSOP gold bracelet, along with a $188,214.57 payday.

McMillen's first bullet in today's tournament last just a few hands, as no sooner than he took his seat, he was seen leaving it after losing a three-way clash. He was spotted at the registration desk shortly after, however, so we'll keep an eye on his progress and see if "MacDaddy15" can make another deep run in a huge field event.

Boss Fires Howard

A player raised to 1,400 from middle position, and Shawn Boss called next to act. Taylor Howard three-bet shoved for 17,600, and after the middle-position player folded, Boss called.

Taylor Howard: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Shawn Boss: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Howard's kicker proved fatal after the {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs} runout, and he was eliminated.
