The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Horseshoe Baltimore to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $3,250 High Roller; 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.

In the $135 buy-in Ladies Event, 65-year-old retired nurse Dorothy Adams topped a 79-entry field to claim a gold ring and the $2,444 first-place prize.

Both she and her husband will continue looking for gold as they plan to travel to the upcoming Cherokee stop. In the past they’ve competed at WSOPC stops in Las Vegas and New Orleans.

Verderamo Sails His Way to a Triple

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

The flop read {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and there was around 6,400 in the pot. Action checked to a player in middle position who bet 3,200 and Carlton Tartar called.

The small blind opponent check-raised all in for 5,000 total and Nicholas Verderamo quickly shoved over the top, making it 27,800 to go.

The original better folded and Tartar called, all three tabled their hands with Tartar putting both of his opponents at risk of elimination.

Opponent: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Nicholas Verderamo: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Carlton Tartar: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

A {q-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn, giving Tartar a flush draw that would take down the pot but a {k-Clubs} river changed nothing as Verderamo scooped with his set of sailboats shortly after joining the table.

As such, we thought we’d profile some of the preliminary tournaments and those who struck it big.

In Event #4: $400 No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed, 103 entrants created a $33,990 prize pool that was paid out to the top 16 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Alan Lee (10th - $812), Robert Morton (13th - $635), and Steven Baysa (16th - $597).

In the end, well-known poker pro Justin Liberto, 31, defeated fellow pro Christian Harder in heads-up play to win the title for $9,712 and his fourth gold ring to go along with his WSOP gold bracelet.
