The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Horseshoe Hammond to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $2,200 High Roller; however, those are just two of more than a dozen gold ring events that will 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.

Event #4: $600 No-Limit Hold��em saw 154 runners create a $79,310 prize pool that was distributed to the top 24 players. Among those to get a piece of it but fall short of making the final table were Eric Jaroch (11th - $1,375), Joe Leibman (16th - $1,020), John ��Farmboy�� Kurfman (18th - $1,020), Blake Whittington (20th - $918), and Jordan Jayne (24th - $850).

Coming out on top was 50-year-old Jerry Gumila of Steamwood, Illinois, who took home $20,773 and his first gold ring after a four-year hiatus away from the game.

��It feels good, I didn��t expect it to happen but I gave it a shot and I��m really happy I won a ring, this things are hard to get,�� Gumila said after his win. ��I haven��t really had time to play as much as I would like due to work but I love poker and I love the game.��

He added: ��I��m probably not going to play much more of the Circuit due to my work schedule but I feel good and I feel like I can compete, so I��ll be here for the Main Event.��
