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 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).
