The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at Florida’s Seminole Coconut Creek to live report action from both the $2,200 High Roller and $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.
In Event #7: $1,125 Pot-Limit Omaha, 45 runners created a $45,000 prize pool that was paid out to the final seven players.
The title came down to a pair of WSOP champs in Brian Hastings and Howard Mash. The former is a four-time bracelet winner and noted PLO grinder, and the latter topped a 5,916-entry field earlier this summer to win the 2019 WSOP Event #32: $1,000 Seniors NLH for $662,594 and his first bracelet.
In the end, Hastings came out on top to win the title, a $16,248 first-place prize, and his first gold ring.
“It feels good. I don’t go out of my way too much to grind the Circuit but it’s nice to be here. I live nearby,” Hastings said after his victory. “We were both playing pretty fast and loose. I think the last hand was pretty normal. He had queens and an open-ended straight draw which is pretty good heads-up.”
