PokerNews is in town to live report both the Main Event and High Roller here at the World Series of Poker Circuit Bicycle Casino, but those are just two of the gold ring events that will have played out by the end of the series.
In Event #3: $250 No-Limit Hold’em, 230 entrants created a $50,000 prize pool that was paid out to the top 35 players. Among those to cash but fall short of making the final table were Kerick Fuentes (10th - $825), Buddy Young (17th - $595), and Eric Gamoning (25th - $435), just to name a few.
In the end, 33-year-old respiratory therapist Kristian Fabros beat Fred Lin in heads-up play to win the title for $11,550 and his first gold ring.
“Yeah, actually this tournament was a pretty good tournament overall because all the tables were nice. It was like a friendly, competitive game,” said Fabros, who traveled up with some friends.
“They did the World Series in Vegas this past year, so they’ve been talking about what a good experience that was. They brought it up yesterday to do the WSOP here. So then, I decided this morning to go and I’m glad I did.”
He added: “Now that I won this one, I’ll probably be back for a few of the other ones. I know I want to do one of the $400 ones.”
