Level 4
: 100/200, 200 ante
While PokerNews is only live reporting the High Roller and Main Event tournaments at the World Series of Poker Circuit Foxwoods stop, there have been plenty of other side events playing out all week long.
One of them was Event #8: $400 Monster Stack, a tournament that drew 443 entrants and offered up a $146,190 prize pool. Among those to cash it were Ashley Baiungo (10th - $2,163), Michael Stashin (17th - $1,461), Vincent Brickner (29th - $818), Kirkwood Saccardo (37th - $614), and Chris Leong (53rd - $584).
Donald Devish emerged the victor to win the title, $29,969 in prize money, and his first WSOP Circuit gold ring.
“It feels pretty great,” said Devish, who has been playing poker since he was 12 years old. “My dad actually taught me – playing home games, bars and local games.”

Little and Porbandarwala Split All In
Level 4
: 100/200, 200 ante
There was a flurry of preflop action caught at the table that featured multiple all ins. The player in the big blind moved all in for his remaining small amount of 4,100.
Yoon Choi put out 5,100 intending to call from under the gun. Jonathan Little was in middle position and moved all in for close to the starting stack. Soheb Porbandarwala was the next to act on the button and he re-shoved his larger stack of about 41,000 all in. The player in the small blind thought for a good while before folding.
Action was back on Choi who wanted a ruling if his 5,100 bet was a call or a raise, the floor was called over and determined that it was a raise. Choi then went into the tank but eventually folded his hand and the cards were turned up with two players at risk:
Big blind: 
Jonathan Little: 
Soheb Porbandarwala: 
The flop came 
, the turn was the 
and the river the to split the pot between Little and Porbandarwala and bust the big blind.
