While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the High Roller and 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 Horseshoe Hammond.
In Event #10: $600 NLH Six-Max, 190 runners created a $97,850 prize pool that was paid out to the top 29 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the official final table were Jeff Trudeau Jr. (8th- $2,773), Peter Kelly (18th - $1,187), Nikolas Stone (22nd - $1,037), Brad Sailor (26th - $936) and Mike Shin (29th - $936).
In the end, it was Nebraska native David Hengen who won his third gold ring along with a $24,364 payday.
“It feels really good. I came into this series with really high goals because I just won a RunGood event two weeks ago, so I feel really good winning this third ring,” Hengen stated after his win.
Hengen came into Day 2 third in chips with 343,000 and when the final table was set, he sat in second with 803,000 which was just shy of three-time ring winner Brett Reichard's chip lead of 847,500.
The final table saw players drop at a decent rate and Hengen contributed to many of the final table eliminations, but his biggest hand came when he scored a monster double for 900,000 through Russell Clayton.
From that point, Hengen held almost half of the chips in play and never looked back to secure his third ring. “I just want to thank both my wife and mother-in-law for their support. I love and appreciate them very much for that,” said Hengen in his closing statement.
