Cory Bogert Captures Second Gold Ring of the WSOP Circuit Ameristar St. Charles Stop

Anthony Thompson

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

PokerNews is on site at the Ameristar St. Charles for the latest World Series of Poker Circuit stop, and while we’re only doing live updates from the $1,700 Main Event, it’s not the only tournament that’s been playing out inside the casino.

For the past week, a slew of side events has taken place and awarded gold rings to the lucky winners. One such tournament was Event #5: $400 Pot-Limit Omaha, which drew 117 entries and offered a $38,610 prize pool.

It was 28-year-old Cory Bogert coming out on top to win $10,674, and if that name sounds familiar it’s because just a day before he had topped a 1,093-entry field to win Event #2: $400 NLH Multi-Flight for $50,034 and his first ring. He made it two rings in two days, a rare feat on the WSOP Circuit.

“I mostly play PLO cash. I mean, I grind tournaments, so like I know some things in tournaments, but PLO is my number one game, by far,” Bogert said after the win, which gave him a big lead in the Casino Championship race.

“Before the first one I was only going to grind like three events, and now I’m grinding everything,” Bogert said. “I’m going to take the rest of the day off and then grind the rest of the tournaments.”

Angelov Finds Life

Anthony Thompson

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In the battle of the binds, Stanislav Angelov was all in for his last 7,900 and was called by Nick Pupillo.

Nick Pupillo:
Stanislav Angelov:

Angelov was at risk and didn't receive any help from the flop.

However, the turn was what Angelov wanted to see, but it also gave Pupillo a broadway draw.

Angelov needed to dodge any ace or ten and did as the river completed the board to give him a much needed double.
