There was yelling and laughing and we had our Seniors Champion when Ronald Boehlert beat Jonathan Gordon heads-up. He was whooping it up and was very happy to take home the WSOPC Seniors ring.

The popular Seniors Event returned to The Pavilion on the penultimate day of the schedule and it drew its usual big crowd. Once again we had more than 300 players, those 50 years and older, enter the tournament to blast the $25,000 guaranteed prize pool.

They put $60,600 up for grabs with the last 33 spots getting paid. The tournament was down to the final table shortly after the dinner break and everyone was having a blast.

The laughter continued all night with Ronald Boehlert loudly and happily celebrating his accomplishment. He earned $14,240 for the win but kept rubbing his brand new jewelry whenever he had the chance.

Event 14
$400 No Limit Hold’em Turbo (Re-Entry)
Entries: 117
Prize Pool: $38,610
February 17, 2019

Event 14 was the last chance for many players to earn a WSOP Circuit ring this series. There were still some around in the Main Event but most had to take their shot in the $400 Turbo on Sunday afternoon. When it was all settled, Seminole Hard Rock Poker regular Michael Newman walked away with his first career WSOPC title.

“I’ve won some big events, but I’ve never won a ring,” Newman said later.

Among Newman’s accomplishments, the top was conquering an incredibly talented final table in 2016 to win the Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll” Poker Open Championship for nearly $350,000. He followed that up with a huge SHR Hollywood Ultimate Re-Entry title a few weeks ago for another $183,000 to kick off his 2019 run.

While this win was for less money, Newman was still very happy to walk away with his first piece of poker jewelry.

The last ring event on the series drew 117 entries to the face-paced tournament to create a prize pool worth $38,610 with the last 12 players earning some money. Newman earned $11,581 for his day’s work along with his first WSOP Circuit ring.

1st: Michael Newman – $11,581 + WSOP Circuit ring
