Shawn Brown Claims Third Event of Harrah's Tunica Circuit
First time WSOP Circuit Event cashers 3-3 so far at Harrah's Tunica. Final table not the only place to find a full house in the packed events center at Tunica.
While over 600 players were in the early rounds of event #4 in the packed event center at Harrah's Tunica (with 200 more in the poker room), the third event of the 2009/2010 Circuit Events at Tunica was in its final stage.
The remaining nine players of the $550 buy-in no limit hold'em event battled it out for a first place prize of $32,397 and the coveted World Series of Poker Circuit Event ring.
The highest buy-in event of the Circuit so far attracted a field of 286 entrants, generating a final table of disciplined and skilled players.
Brown, a 28-year old screen press company owner from St. Louis, MO says table image was critical to his win. "I was playing like a maniac when we were down to two tables," said Brown.
"They thought I was the worst player, but after a while they figured out that that wasn't the case."
Brown's Circuit Event win was also his first cash. The winners of events #1 and #2, Michael Crump and Jonathan Elliott were also first time Circuit Event Cashers.
Brown was ecstatic.
"Oh this is great man," said Brown. "Halfway through the tournament, I told myself I was going to win the ring. I refused to take anything other than first in this thing."
Still to come are 16 more events and single-day non-ring $230 and $340 buy-in events which begin at 4 pm and 7pm. The WSOP Circuit at Harrah's Tunica runs through February 10th.
