Clarence Prevost Wins Event #10; Paul Sokoloff w/ Another Deep Run
The World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Durant $1,700 Main Event is just one of a dozen gold ring events at the stop.
For more than a week, a slew of side events has been playing out including Event #10: $400 NLH 8-Handed One-Day, a tournament that drew 216 entries and created a $17,132 prize pool.
The last player standing was 36-year-old Clarence Prevost, who claimed a $17,132 top prize and his first WSOPC gold ring.
“I’m happy, I feel so blessed,” he said after the win. “I really really wanted to win one. I really thought I wouldn’t make it this far.”
Prevost came into the final table eighth in chips but hung tough before spinning it up.
“I never gave-up, I felt like it was my time,” he explained. “I picked the right spots and didn’t bluff-off my stack like I liked to do. I just waited my turn. I believed in the cards when they came to me.”
The father of two added: “I have to give a shoutout to my rail and give a specific shoutout to my boy Kurt Haiss, he is the guy I run with and he’s always backed for me. The entire rail was cool.”
Interestingly, Paul Sokoloff, who had finished runner-up in a tournament the night before, had another deep run finishing in third place for $7,483.
