Sudheer Some Turns First Final Table Appearance Into Gold
While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the High Roller and Main Event we��d be remiss if we didn��t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Horseshoe Hammond.
In Event #1: $400 NLH, five starting flights saw 2,169 runners create a $715,770 prize pool that was paid out to the top 290 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the official final table were Andy Rogowski (10th- $8,544), David Gonia (14th - $6,929), Ken Donarski (18th - $5,674), Matt Porter (26th - $3,307), Greg Baird (28th - $3,386) and Matthew Koch (39th - $1,857).
In the end, it was Illinois native Sudheer Some who collected every chip in play to win his first gold ring along with a $103,923 payday.
Some's road to victory was a long and arguably grueling one but the 40-year-old found a way to capture his first ring in his first-ever final table appearance.
��I��m really lost for words,�� stated Some. ��This was my first final table
I have made and am just really excited to win my first ring.��
The $103,923 victory marks the largest of Some��s career and he adds a shiny new piece of hardware to go along with it.
