Cartwright Wins Fourth Ring in Event #10; Roommate Phahurat Finished as Runner Up
Throughout the day, we've periodically brought you some updates from Event #10 $1,090 NLHE, the final table of which was happening right in front of us. During the break, that event concluded and a familiar face ended up with all the chips . . . Kyle Cartwright.
For those who don't know, that's the young man who won the Harrah's St. Louis Main Event last year. Not only that, he had previously won two other rings during last year's circuit at Harrah's Tunica, meaning his most recent win gave him his forth ring. That's one behind all-time ring winner Mark "Pegasus" Smith.
What's more, Cartwright's traveling roommate, AP Phahurat, finished as the runner up. Throw in the fact that their other roommate, Tripp Kirk, finished in 12th place, and you have a legitimate "Circuit Crew" here in St. Louis.
In the final hand, Phahurat got his shorter stack all in preflop holding and was dominated by the of Cartwright. The board ran out an uninspiring and it was all over.
Both players are currently being paid out and have already told us they'll be entering tonight's field.
