Jay Darish Wins WSOP Circuit Event #16
Jay Darish of East Windsor, NJ is the winner of event #16, the $300 + (40) buy-in no-limit hold'em event at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City. The event's modest field of 296 players was due in large part to a severe snow storm the night before.Darish attributes his math background combined with his reads for seeing him through the nearly 300-player field to make it to the final table.
Shortly before 4 pm, the final nine players of event #16 joined two other final tables taking place simultaneously in the ballroom at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City. About 25 minutes into play, Jeffery Greenstein, a 29-year old math teacher was escorted to the payout table to collect his $2,153 ninth place prize.
22-year old NFL assistant player benefits administrator, Patrick Reynolds was eliminated in eighth place a short while later. Eighth place paid $3,015.
Rohan Singh, a 36-year old real estate agent was eliminated after moving all in with J-Q suited against Kenneth Owens' A-10. The board completed the straight for Owens and Singh was forced to settle for seventh place and $4,307.
Owens was eliminated by Jay Darish after re-raising Darish's 47,000 bet pre-flop all-in. Darish hit a flush on the board, trumping the pocket nines of Owens. The 62-year old retiree from Bordentown, NJ took home $5,168 for sixth.
The fifth place finisher was 33-year old union electrician, Paul Molinari. Molinari cashed for $6,030.
Patrick O'Sullivan finished in fourth place and collected $6,891.
Darish soon eliminated Sachin Ramrakhani, and with well more than a 10-1 chip lead over Matthew Chin heads-up, made his opponent an offer he couldn't refuse.
"An extra thousand and I take the ring," said Darish.
At first, Chin was hesitant, but eventually decided to take the thousand along with his other $11,284 for second. Darish earned $19,811 (minus a grand)
"I feel great," said Darish after winning taking the last ring event of the Harrah's Resort Atlantic City Circuit. "This was my second major tournament since 2006."
