The PokerNews live reporting team is currently in North Carolina to live report the Main Event at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah��s Cherokee, but that is just one of the gold ring events that will have played out by the end of the series.

Heading into the weekend, Event #7: $400 Monster Stack attracted 1,193 runners and created a $633,930 prize pool that was paid out to the top 277 places. Among those to make a deep run and cash were Marvin Rettenmaier (4th - $33,842), Austin Reilly (9th - $9,547), Eric Salazar (15th - $6,203), Justin Harvell (22nd - $4,126), David Jackson (24th - $3,531), and Alan Sacks (39th - $1,739).

In the end, longtime poker pro Leif Force, 36, bested Matt Ernst in heads-up play to win the tournament for $97,676 and his third gold ring, which compliments the bracelet he won in the 2012 WSOP Event #3: $3,000 Heads-Up NLH/PLO for $207,708. He also finished 11th in the 2006 WSOP Main Event for more than $1.1 million and 21st in 2014 for $286,900.

��It feels so great. I��m so excited about it,�� said Force, who was at one point down to just a fifth of a big blind.

��I lost tens versus ace-ten to get down to 10,000 in chips when the big blind was 50,000. I had just gotten through the blinds, so I waited maybe four hands and went all in and doubled up the next four hands in a row and was up to 500,000 right away,�� explained Force.

He added: ��I don��t really go for any milestones. I love to play. I��ve been playing since when I was homeschooled. I learned math through poker. I was playing blackjack at age two.��
