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

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.”

Chris Parsley Proves Himself a Bounty Hunter After Nabbing First Gold Ring

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 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 #6: $400 NLH Bounty, which drew 160 runners and had a $36,800 prize pool.

Among those to cash but fall short of making the final table were Jason Tang (10th - $638), Zach Hudson (15th - $542), and Heather Alcorn (18th - $474), just to name a few.

Chris Parsley, a 59-year-old retiree from Caseyville, Illinois, ultimately came out on top to collect $9,634 and his first gold ring.

“You just got to be patient and just hope that the cards fall your way. That’s all you can do, especially heads up. It’s just a lot of luck involved,” Parsley said, touching on the dynamic of playing for 14 hours.

“I usually play once a week and that’s all I play is tournaments,” Parsley added. “I love it. I love the WSOP stage. I go out to Vegas every year and play.”

Mull Boats Up Sisler for Monster Pot

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jesse Mull
Jesse Mull

There was heads up action between Scott Sisler and Jesse Mull.

The board read {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Sisler lead out for 15,000 into a 70,000 pot from the big blind.

Mull raised all in for 118,000 from late position and Sisler went into the tank.

The clock was called on Sisler and once the tournament director got down to the five-second count, Sisler called.

Sisler didn't like what he saw as Mull tabled {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a rivered full house to rake in the massive pot.

Cartwright Flushes Landherr on the River

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jeff Landherr
Jeff Landherr

There was all in action between preflop Kyle Cartwright from middle position and Jeff Landherr on the button.

Jeff Landherr: {a-}{k-}
Kyler Cartwright: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Both players held the same hand, but Landherr didn't like the {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} flop that gave Cartwright the nut flush draw.

The turn brought the {5-Hearts} and Landherr needed to dodge a diamond to keep his tournament hopes alive.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't happen as the {8-Diamonds} fell on the river to eliminate Landherr.
