Action Concludes at WSOP Satellite Event in Biloxi, MS
The final events at the WSOP Satellite Event at the IP Casino, Resort, and Spa have concluded and we have the last of the results from the event. This satellite series consisted of 27 different events, covering the broad spectrum of poker. Results through event #22 have already been posted, so today we will bring you the remaining events.
Professional “Captain” Tom Franklin of Gulfport, MS made his 4rd final table of this satellite series after making the final table of Event #23, a $340 NL Holdem event. Franlin eventually finished 8th in the event to take home $917 and complete what was a strong run at this series. While this was a smaller event, anytime a player can make four final tables in a series, they have played well.
Event #26 was the $3,000 buy-in NL Holdem Championship. The winner of this event also received a seat for the 2010 WSOP Main Event. Only 43 players turned out for this event, making the prize pool $125,130. Only four people would make the money in this event, so making the final table was not enough. The final four was headlined by WSOP bracelet winner Adeeb Harb. Harb won an Omaha Hi-Lo bracelet in 1996 and was fairly quiet until 2006. In 2006, he took down a WPT preliminary event at the Five Star World Poker Classic, good for $380,000. A year later, he came out on top of a stacked field in a $5,000 preliminary at the WPT World Championships. He defeated Ted Lawson heads-up to take down over $500,000 in prize money.
Harb’s run in this event got him as far as third place and $18,770. First ultimately went to circuit regular James Lenaghan. Lenaghan has four cashes in WSOP circuit events, including a 2nd place in a PLO Event at Harrah’s New Orleans earlier in the year. This win was Lenaghan’s first win and biggest payday to date at $56,308.
Results for Events #23 through 27 are below. Once again, we thank Bill Bruce of Poker Tournament Consultants for the results from these events. Poker Tournament Consultants ran this WSOP Satellite event and they are in charge of several events on this year’s schedule.
