McEwen Tests Wang

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

A call of clock was heard at a nearby table. Michael Wang was contemplating a bet of 5,000 from his opponent Preston McEwen into a pot of about 20,000.

Wang had been thinking for a while before clock had been called. The floor came over to start the countdown for Wang but before the countdown was reached, Wang folded his hand to give McEwen the pot.

Quads For Klein

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

The board read {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Michael Klein had just raised a river bet of 1,500 to 6,000. His opponent was stewing it over and was frustratingly playing with his cards. After about 15 seconds he folded.

Klein flashed the case nine - the {9-Clubs} - with a smile and took down the pot to add to his already big stack.

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.
