BrandonTemple

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Horseshoe Southern Indiana in the Louisville area to live report the $1,700 Main Event; however, that is just one of more than a dozen gold ring events that have taken place over the past week. As such, we thought we’d profile some of the preliminary tournaments and those who struck it big.

Event #3: $250 Double Stack No-Limit Hold’em attracted 485 entries and offered up a $97,000 prize pool.

Coming out on top was 56-year-old Ricky Doyle from Cynthiana, Kentucky, who earned $19,447 for the victory and captured his first gold ring. It took him 18 hours to clinch victory in the one-day tournament.

"I was a little tired but I was just lucky as hell," Doyle said. "I was catching and hitting a lot at the final table."

The win has inspired Doyle to play a bit more, which might include the $1,700 Main Event.

"I just might play the big one now,” he said with a smile.
