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 #2: $400 NLH Multi-Flight, 921 runners over four starting flights and created a $303,390 prize pool. That was paid out to the top 136 players including Kirk Spano (12th - $3,671), Renato Manalo (20th - $2,131), Josh Reichard (23rd - $1,843), Howard Hankin (25th - $1,623), Jerod Smith (36th - $1,244), and Bryan Skreens (62nd - $911).
In the end, 28-year-old Jacob Rich of Plymouth, Wisconsin took it down for $52,680 and his first gold ring. The payday came at just the right time too as Rich is planning on opening his own business.
“It feels great,” Rich said after the win. “I’ve been playing poker since I was 21 but I’ve really been working on a few projects these past few years. I’m opening a cheese plant in Plymouth, Wisconsin to sell goat cheese. I just got my cheese making license and the plant is on its way to opening, so I’m very happy.”
Congrats to the latest “Cheesehead” gold ring winner.
