McManus Triples

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player in middle position raised to 3,300 and the Hijack moved all-in for 21,900 before Jim McManus called off his remaining 17,300. The button and blinds folded and the original raiser made the call.

Middle Position: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Hijack: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Jim McManus: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

McManus was ahead and was looking to dodge overcards as well as a ten but the flop gave him little to worry about when it came {q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} making top set and the board completed with the {k-Clubs} on the turn and the {2-Hearts} on the river, giving McManus a full house and the Hijack winning the small side pot with kings and twos.

Burns Smashes Queen to Eliminate Opponent

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

James Burns raised to 4,000 in the cutoff and the small blind moved all-in for 37,500. The big blind folded and Burns thought it over and eventually made the call.

Small Blind: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
James Burns: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Burns was dominated but the flop came {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} giving him two pairs, queens and nines. The {3-Spades} landed on the turn changing nothing and the {9-Spades} on the river filled in Burns' full house to eliminate his opponent.

Moreno Flushes Dixon Out of the Tournament

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in middle position raised to 5,000 and the action folded to Robert Moreno who three-bet on the button to 19,000. Edward Dixon was next to act and jammed his entire stack of roughly 39,000 in the middle forcing the big blind and the original raiser to fold before Moreno snap-called.

Edward Dixon: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Robert Moreno: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

It was a race and the flop favored Dixon when it came {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} giving him top pair, and the {4-Clubs} on the turn was a brick but the {7-Diamonds} landed on the river giving Moreno a flush and sending Dixon to the rail.

Jerry Gumila Victorious in Event #4: $600 NLH

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Horseshoe Hammond to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $2,200 High Roller; however, those are just two of more than a dozen gold ring events that will 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.

Event #4: $600 No-Limit Hold’em saw 154 runners create a $79,310 prize pool that was distributed to the top 24 players. Among those to get a piece of it but fall short of making the final table were Eric Jaroch (11th - $1,375), Joe Leibman (16th - $1,020), John “Farmboy” Kurfman (18th - $1,020), Blake Whittington (20th - $918), and Jordan Jayne (24th - $850).

Coming out on top was 50-year-old Jerry Gumila of Steamwood, Illinois, who took home $20,773 and his first gold ring after a four-year hiatus away from the game.

“It feels good, I didn’t expect it to happen but I gave it a shot and I’m really happy I won a ring, this things are hard to get,” Gumila said after his win. “I haven’t really had time to play as much as I would like due to work but I love poker and I love the game.”

He added: “I’m probably not going to play much more of the Circuit due to my work schedule but I feel good and I feel like I can compete, so I’ll be here for the Main Event.”

Stellatos Keeps Stackin'

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in early position shoved all-in for 36,000 and the action folded around to Gregory Stellatos who snap-called in the big blind.

Early Position: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Gregory Stellatos: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Stellatos was in great shape with pocket aces and the flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} had his opponent drawing to a gutshot, the {5-Clubs} on the turn was no help for the opponent and the {k-Clubs} fell on the river adding to Stellatos' massive stack.
