Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

Former NBA basketball player and member of the 1974 NC State national championship team Tommy Burleson was seen collecting a decent size pot when his pocket jacks hit a set with a jack on the river to begin a nice chip up.

Burleson's cuts an imposing figure in the poker room as his large frame of 7'2" stands out while repping the NC State Wolfpack with his shirt.

His basketball career including an Olympic silver medal, an NBA all-rookie team selection, and the NCAA team title in which he squared off in the paint against NBA and UCLA legend Bill Walton.

The $1,700 Main Event is just one of a dozen gold ring events taking place at the Harrah’s Cherokee stop. For over a week, players have been competing for WSOP Circuit hardware and big chunks of prize money.

In Event #5: $400 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed, 476 entrants created a $157,080 prize pool. Almost a year to the date after he won his first gold ring, 32-year-old web developer Shadrach Tercy of Jonesboro, Georgia claimed his second along with a $31,594 first-place prize.

He began the final table as the chip lead and never lost it even in the one-hour heads-up battle against David Burke.

“It just feels amazing, I mean this is actually like a year to the date from winning my first ring.” Tercy said. “I travel around to some stops, I mostly do the stops that are closer to me. I live in Atlanta, so I do Cherokee since it’s only a two-hour drive for me, and I do some Florida stops, Seminole and now they have added a Tampa stop so I plan to play that.”
