The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is in Milwaukee to live report action the $1,700 Main Event, but is just one of a dozen gold ring events at the stop. As such, we thought we’d profile some of the preliminary tournaments and those who struck it big.
Event #6: $400 Pot-Limit Omaha drew 166 entrants and offered up a $54,780 prize pool to the top 25 players including Ben Rock (13th - $801), Mike Hanson (15th - $801), Brad Sailor (21st - $632), and Goran Filipovic (25th - $564).
Coming out on top was 43-year-old Hao “John” Sun, a regular at Potawatomi Casino. He not only won a $14,190 first-place prize, he also laid claim to his first WSOP Circuit gold ring. What’s more, it was his second taste of victory in a month. In August, Sun topped a 324-entry field to win the MSPT Majestic Star $1,100 Main Event for $71,945, which was his second MSPT title after becoming the 2016 Iowa State Poker Champion at Meskwaki Casino.
“I feel great. Think I’ll go get a nice dinner and party like a rockstar,” Sun said after the win.

Level 10
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After a raise to 2,400 from the hijack and a call from the cutoff, the small blind shoved for 10,500, and Glen Nelson shoved over the top for 14,900, chasing out the hijack. The cutoff tanked for a bit before deciding to fold as well.
Opponent: 
Glen Nelson:
Nelson improved to jacks-up on the 
flop, and took one of his opponent's outs away on the 
turn. The 
river gave Nelson a flush, while the cutoff cried out, saying he folded a full house. Nelson breathed a sigh of relief, then raked in the pot.
