Poker Pro Justin Liberto Captures 4th Career Gold Ring
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Horseshoe Baltimore to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $3,250 High Roller; however, that is just one of more than a dozen gold ring events that have taken place over the past week. As such, we thought we��d profile some of the preliminary tournaments and those who struck it big.
In Event #4: $400 No-Limit Hold��em 8-Handed, 103 entrants created a $33,990 prize pool that was paid out to the top 16 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Alan Lee (10th - $812), Robert Morton (13th - $635), and Steven Baysa (16th - $597).
In the end, well-known poker pro Justin Liberto, 31, defeated fellow pro Christian Harder in heads-up play to win the title for $9,712 and his fourth gold ring to go along with his WSOP gold bracelet.
