Cord Garcia

Earlier this evening, Cord Garcia won his third career WSOP Circuit ring. (see below). The Colossus champ took his payout slip to the window, cashed in his victory, and walked to the registration desk to jump into the High Roller.

They have about one more hour to play in Day 1 and we expect a few more to join. If they don’t this evening, they can register up until the start of Day 2 tomorrow at 2 pm.

David Moses

The High Roller recently returned from their last break of the day and the tournament is already a huge success. It crossed the $50,000 guaranteed prize pool in the first level, doubled it up not long after, and now it sits at $126,000 with 63 entries. Day 1 will come to an end after Level 12 and registration will remain open until cards go in the air for Day 2.

David Moses and David DiBernardi look like the two biggest stacks in the room, each over 130,000 and doing well so far.

The High Roller kicked off at 4 pm and we have a great turnout already. With late registration open until the start of Day 2 plus 40-minute levels, these things usually take a while to build up some steam.

Not today.

There are 25 entries here at the midpoint of Level 1 and that is good enough to match the $50,000 Guarantee. They’ll keep spinning it up over the 12 levels of play this evening.

Event 9: Aaron Wallace Adds a PLO Ring to a PLO Bracelet in Coconut Creek

2019 February WSOP Circuit
Seminole Casino Coconut Creek
Event 9
$400 Pot Limit Omaha (Re-Entry)
$25,000 Guaranteed
Entries: 102
Prize Pool: $33,660
February 13-14, 2019

(Coconut Creek, FL) — Aaron Wallace complemented his gold bracelet with a gold ring Thursday night at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek. The 36-year-old recreational player from Northern California defeated 102 entries in Event 9 of the WSOP Circuit, a $400 buy-in pot limit Omaha re-entry tournament. In addition to the jewelry, Wallace earned $10,099 moving him over $300,000 in reported earnings.

Wallace, who was born in Carmel, Indiana, came to South Florida on an unrelated note — to purchase a car. The deal on the car fell through and Wallace was left with nothing else keeping him in the area. A friend pointed out the WSOP was in town and his favorite game — PLO — was going on.

“I came down here to buy a vehicle, and that deal fell through,” Wallace recalled. “I didn’t even know the event was going on. I called a friend and he was like, ‘Hey. There’s a PLO event going on. You should play.’ Here we are.”

Wallace, who’s been in the natural food industry his whole life, works for a company called Coyo that offers a coconut-based yogurt alternative. He travels for work often and only gets to play tournaments when it lines up with one his trips. Making it even harder to find a game, he exclusively plays PLO.

“The thing I like about PLO players — especially Bruce [Freedman], who I was heads up against –it’s a very cordial, friendly atmosphere. It was fun times. Winning a ring doesn’t hurt, either,” Wallace laughed.

The event drew 102 entries generating a total prize pool worth $33,660. The top 12 finishers scored a payday with past Seminole champions Cory Blum (10th) and Eric Kolodny (11th) joining him in the money.

Final results:

1st: Aaron Wallace – $10,099 + WSOP Circuit ring
2nd: Bruce Freedman – $6,241
3rd: Royce Matheson – $4,444
4th: Robert Banks – $3,228
5th: David Stewart – $2,391
6th: Christoph Gow – $1,805
7th: Lance Hendricks – $1,388
