PokerNews is in town to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $2,200 High Roller here at the World Series of Poker Circuit Rio Las Vegas, but those are just three of the gold ring events that will have played out by the end of the series.

In Event #10: $400 NLH Double Stack, 339 entrants created a $111,870 prize pool that was paid out to the top 51 players including Maria Mcalpin (3rd - $10,915), William Donovan (7th - $3,392), Robert Cheung (12th - $1,687), Al Chiozzi (22nd - $857), Shawn Rice (29th - $685), and Sam Cosby (36th - $593).

In the end, Ian Steinman beat Sal DiCarlo in heads-up play to win a $24,635 top prize and his fourth career circuit ring.

“It feels good, it is always fun to win tournaments. This is the most money I’ve won when winning my rings, so that’s nice,” said Steinman. “I’m just trying to play well honestly. I’d love to win a bracelet but that’s kind of a strange goal to have because I can’t control as much as I would like to. It is weird to have a goal if you can’t control the outcome. I can have a goal to win a bracelet and get all-in with pocket aces - and still loose. I want to win a bracelet, but I don’t want to make it my goal because I don’t want it to affect me mentality if I don’t do that.”

He added: “My goal is to get over a million in cashes and feel like I still have a good time doing it. As long as I’m having a good time and making good decisions, I’m happy.”

Galstyan Collects Big With Boat

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Action was caught on the river on a board that read {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Karapet Galstyan made a hefty bet of 11,000 into a pot of about 20,000.

Josh Arieh was considering the bet and thought for about 20 seconds before calling. Galtsyan showed the {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the full boat and Arieh mucked and was left with a small amount.

Shannon Shorr

Shannon Shorr has now joined the field here at the Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino.

Shorr has a pile of feats on a resume that boasts over eight million in live career earnings but is yet to capture his first WSOP Circuit ring and will surely be someone to watch here in this event as he searches for his first.
