Joey Fabre Nabs Himself a PLO Gold Ring in Event #6
PokerNews is in town to live report the Main Event here at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah’s Cherokee, but that is just one of the gold ring events that will have played out by the end of the series.
In Event #6: $600 Pot-Limit Omaha, 287 entries accounted for a $147,805 prize pool. That was distributed to the top 44 players including Robert Keeling (10th - $2,250) Will Berry (14th - $1,855), Blake Whittington (27th - $1,056), Leif Force (31st - $909), Mark Biem (41st - $858), and Dorian Grant (43rd - $858).
In the end, 40-year-old recreational player Joey Fabre of Florence, Kentucky came out on top to win $33,387 and his first gold ring.
“I play Hold’em and PLO – tournaments and cash. My first time playing (pot-limit Omaha) I won, so I just played it a little bit here and there,” said Fabre, who in 2018 finished 72nd in the WSOP Main Event for $108,745.
