Hugh Jordan Drummond Takes Down Event #5
Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
The WSOP-C Harrah’s St. Louis stop had an early points leader in Hugh Jordan Drummond, who managed to notch a third-place finish in Event #1 and followed that up with a victory in Event #5. Between the two final tables, Drummond eliminated twelve opponents and amassed enough WSOP Circuit points to put him atop the casino-points leaderboard. An online poker pro from Vancouver, Canada, who is used to playing $100-$1,000 sit-and-go’s, Drummond outlasted 393 players to claim the $24,611 first-place prize. “I’m pretty elated,” he said after the win. “I never expected to win when I came out here.”
