A call of clock was heard from a nearby table. Action was on Christine Holubeck who was facing a bet of 15,000 from her opponent Miguel Hernandez.

The pot was at least 40,000 and the completed board read {6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. The floor came over to administer the countdown and as it reached zero, Holubeck tossed her hand away.

Hernandez showed the {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for the full boat to reassure Holubeck of the nature of her fold.

PokerNews is in town to live report the $1,700 Main Event and two high roller tournaments here at the World Series of Poker Circuit at Hard Rock Tampa, but those are just three of the gold ring events that will have played out by the end of the series.

In Event #5: $600 NLH 6-Handed, 352 runners created a $181,280 prize pool that was paid out to the top 53 players including Michael Rossitto (4th - $11,672), John Gorsuch (7th - $4,533), Zach Gruneberg (14th - $2,164), Blake Whittington (18th - $1,775), Mark Dube (27th - $1,289), and Adam Lamphere (37th - $1,042).

In the end, Arkadiy Tsinis bested Scott Dobbs in heads-up play to win the title, $39,527 top prize, and his fifth gold Circuit ring.

“It’s going to a special person, I’m giving away all my rings except the first one,” Tsinis said after the win. “I gave the second one to my father, the other two to my very close friends who are like my brothers, and this one is going to their father. They are so special to me.”

He added: “Day 2 started pretty good. I hit everything, pairs turned into sets, best hands held up, then at the final table I hit a downswing, I was the shortest at some point, but then I came back, it’s poker.”

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante

The flop came down {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Tom Nguyen bet 6,000 and was called by his opponent. The turn was the {5-Clubs}. This time Nguyen bet 11,000 and his opponent again called after a substantial amount of deliberation time.

The river came the {5-Spades}. Nguyen amped the pressure all the way up and he moved a large stack of chips into the middle to force his opponent all in, who folded quickly to give the pot to Nguyen.
