Michael Reed Wins Seniors Event Gold Ring
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Horseshoe Hammond to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $2,200 High Roller; however, those are just two of more than a dozen gold ring events that will have taken place over the past week. As such, we thought we’d profile some of the preliminary tournaments and those who struck it big.
In Event #3: $400 Seniors NLH, 211 entrants created a $69,630 prize pool that was paid out to the top 32 players including Frank Ray (10th - $1,142), Jacquelyn Kalin (16th - $821), and Henry Chow (23rd - $651), just to name a few.
In the end, Michael Reed of Terre Haute, Indiana bested Chicago’s Reginald Johnson in heads-up play to win the title for $16,878 and a shiny gold ring.
