HARRAHS NOLA NEWS: WEEKLY WINNINGS GOING UP: Big news with some January changes at Harrahs NOLA. The Saturday tournament is getting bumped up to a $200 entry fee and the percentage to the rake is also going down. Should create some bigger prize pools for the 11am event. That starts this Saturday with 12k in starting chips! We hear there are possibly other changes to come for the weekly schedule. Currently there are tournaments Monday at 6pm ($130 buyin), Wednesday at 11am and 6pm ($150, $25 Bounty), as well as the new $200 Saturday 11am event. WSOP: Weekend of the Pro Bowl (likely Sunday January 26th at 11am) there will be the first of a new monthly WSOP Satty. Your road to the Main Event starts now! Looks like the buy-in will be around $600. A long structure with play starting at noon will provide $10,000 to all the winners to use for a 10k WSOP Main Event buy-in or of their choosing. If this goes well should be a monthly event until the series. There is also talk of a massive last chance WSOP Bankroll Booster with a multi-flight event just after the circuit even in May to cap off the season and send a TON of locals to the WSOP. More details on all this to come. |

Also cashing Kevin Kaylor of Houston, Melissa Singh of New York, David Prociak of Florida, and Matt Silva of Charlotte.  WITH A TRACE: After a number of close calls over his career, the winner's photo in WSOP-C events, has usually been without a Trace. Not this time. Trace Henderson took down the 8 max event winning $13,382 for first place and his first WSOP gold ring. Busy day for the professional poker player as his room-mate came within a hair of final tabling the Venom Main Event on ACR. Surely, Trace was tracking Jeremy Eyer's progress to see if he could win the million dollar first place prize. Eyer on the day won more money but Trace claims the W and the bling. Trace beat Boris Kasabov of Houston heads up. Kasabov won over 8k for second. The final table included: Russell Boyette (third 5.6k) who just missed his second ring of the series; Blake Purvis of Montgomery just under 4k for fourth; JP Kolb of Youngsville, LA fifth for 2.8k; and Dustin Nelson of Tallahassee, FL 7th for 1.6k. Other locals in the money: Ray Curran; Danny Doucet; John Littich of Brandon, MS; Judy Leblanc; and BJ McBrayer. MONSTER STACK RETURNS FINAL TABLE: William Pollard seeking a second ring in a matter of days is the chip leader with 2.66 million. Desmond Scott not too far behind at 2.2 million. Shaw Quillan and Matt DeMarsh both bagged over a million. Also returning: Kip Jones; Kim Sang; Chris Dietsch; James Payne and Morton Davs. First place is 24k and everybody at the final table has already earned over 2k. |

Robert Cheung came down from Vancouver to add to his jewelry collection. He won his third ring (also has a bracelet) and a smidge under 10k. Prissy won 6.1k and bragging rights in her household as Jerry Giroir finished fifth for 2k. Not sure why we put Jerry's picture up there as all the glory should be Prissy's on this day. Oh maybe it's that sweet $45 Gulf Coast Poker Hooide he's rocking--wear the logo get the pics!. BJ McBrayer added another final table to his series earning ~$1.5k for sixth. Walker Miskelly won 1.1k for sevnth. Hanh Nguyen of Biloxi finished third for 4.1k. Ryamond Starrett (11th) and Jason Dursun (15th), also of Biloxi, made the money.

'KEE MAIN GUTHRIE WINS 160K FOR SECOND IN CHEROKEE: Montgomery, Alabama native Hannah Guthrie gutted to be one card away from a WSOP-C Main Event victory. Hannah turned a flush on a 4s9d4d 3d board. She watched Eric Gorman of Maryland ship it and snapped called. He sheepishly said, "Uh oh that's not good," revealing pocket sevens. Brutality on the river as a third 4 hit the board. The next hand they got it in each with an ace but Hannah outkicked by Gorman's Queen. He flopped another Queen for good measure. Great run, by Hannah Guthrie. Kyle Cartwright won ~$54k for fifth and Marshall White $42k for sixth. |

POKER LINKAGE: -Understanding Hiep Doan by Ben Saxton. Also, check out Ben's thread at 2 + 2, always some good reads on there. -So sorry to hear the news about Rosilyn "Roz" Jordan's death at 46. PokerNews' Chad Holloway with the story here. A New Orleans original. She will be missed. -Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors have some pretty legendary in flight Poker Games. His rookie contract almost not big enough for him to play in it. One of us GCPers got to play with one of their coaches (and a former pro himself) at Harrahs NOLA. He knew his way around the table. -In Hot Springs, an Arkansas man tried to steal 17k in poker chips from the Oaklawn Racing Resort. Seems a real genuis. After using his player's card on the BlackJack table he later grabbed the chips from a dealer's rack in a poker game and ran out the building. Wonder how they caught him? |
