Abro Binks the Turn on Smith

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante
Ronnie Abro
Ronnie Abro

Ronnie Abro bet 2,300 from the small blind on a {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades} flop, and Heartland Poker Tour Tournament Director Jeremy Smith raised to 6,500 on the button. Abro called.

Abro checked the {j-Spades} turn to Smith, who bet 8,000. Abro check-raised all in for 20,300, and Smith went into the tank. After a few minutes, the clock was called, but before a floor could arrive at the table, Smith called.

Jeremy Smith: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Ronnie Abro: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Smith's flopped top set had been turned by Abro's jacks, and no one-outer was waiting for Smith on the {4-} river, leaving Smith with just 1,100 in chips. Smith busted on the very next hand.

Sudheer Some Turns First Final Table Appearance Into Gold

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

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 #1: $400 NLH, five starting flights saw 2,169 runners create a $715,770 prize pool that was paid out to the top 290 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the official final table were Andy Rogowski (10th- $8,544), David Gonia (14th - $6,929), Ken Donarski (18th - $5,674), Matt Porter (26th - $3,307), Greg Baird (28th - $3,386) and Matthew Koch (39th - $1,857).

In the end, it was Illinois native Sudheer Some who collected every chip in play to win his first gold ring along with a $103,923 payday.

Some's road to victory was a long and arguably grueling one but the 40-year-old found a way to capture his first ring in his first-ever final table appearance.

“I’m really lost for words,” stated Some. “This was my first final table I have made and am just really excited to win my first ring.”

The $103,923 victory marks the largest of Some’s career and he adds a shiny new piece of hardware to go along with it.
