Level 7
: 300/500, 500 ante
While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the Main Event, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Durant.
In Event #2: $250 NLH Multi-Flight, 2,107 runners created a $421,400 prize pool that was paid out to the top 301 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Matthew Iadarola (10th- $4,838), Evan Waguespack(13th - $3,938), Alan Percal (16th - $3,240), Asaf Ben Shushan (21st - $2,695), and Cory Bogert (29th - $2,034).
In the end, it was Texas native Ron Robinson who collected every chip in play to capture his second ring along with a $58,615 payday.
After taking down a one-day ring event back in July, Ron Robinson returned to Choctaw Durant and captured his second World Series of Poker title of the 2019/20 Circuit season.
The tournament encompassed four Day 1s and took three days to complete and Robinson was eyeing up his second Choctaw title.
Robinson eventually made it to the final two where he faced Rene Castillo. Just the same as his previous heads-up match for a Circuit glory, Robinson began at a disadvantage as Castillo controlled the chip lead.
When asked if his past experience aided with the obstacle, Robinson responded with “Absolutely. I just said I can’t give up. I kept trying, two or three different ways, to try to break his wall of chips. I would limp in. I would raise excessively on the button… I tried all these different things. And then, I just finally realized I just had to make a stand.”
And take a stand he did. The biggest pot of heads-up play, and the tournament, occurred near the end of Level 34. A king-high flop provided Castillo with two-pair and Robinson with an ace-high flush draw.
Both players opted all in with nearly the exact same amount of chips and a race ensued. Robinson was chasing a third heart and Castillo needed to fade some outs.
The turn was a dud. Then, the queen of diamonds landed on the river. Although it was not a heart, to Robinson’s delight, the face card completed a Broadway straight using the ace in his hand. The 20-million-chip pot left Castillo with a mere 800,000, which Robinson confiscated the very next hand.

runout giving him the double-up for 12,700 while Buckingham was left with just 2,500.
