“Nice Guy” Finishes First
Country musician and local favorite, Luther Lewis wins Circuit
Event #10 at Harrah’s Tunica
TUNICA, MS – As tournament director Kevin Ferguson announced the name of the player
in seat nine, a sudden burst of applause and cheering burst out in the event center at
Harrah’s Tunica.
The unexpected barrage of loud whistling, clapping and shouts of encouragement from
the room when Luther Lewis’ name was read was in stark contrast to the standard
obligatory hand clapping.
Lewis, a 39-year old country singer and songwriter was probably the most surprised,
seemingly taken aback from the crowd support.
“Lewis is the nicest player in this room,” said Rose Cooney, who plays regularly with
Lewis at the Horseshoe in Tunica and says she’s never seen him berate a player after
taking a bad beat or even go on tilt.
“And he’s polite to the ladies.”
In addition to home court advantage, Lewis had something else going for him heading
into the final table of the $440 buy-in no-limit hold’em event, the chip lead.
Name Hometown Seat Chip Count
Ray Hall Huntsville, AL 1 380,000
Mike Wolf Quinlan, TX 2 240,000
Matt Culberson Biloxi, MS 3 215,000
Jeter Brock Birmingham, AL 4 356,000
Zack Lawmaster Tulsa, OK 5 310,000
Mike Ashar Vermillion, OH 6 143,000
Scott Standridge Fort Smith, AR 7 143,000
Nathan Burdette Birmingham, AL 8 247,000
Luther Lewis Goodlettsville, TN 9 480,000
Ninth Place
The final table got underway at 3:20 pm after Terry Alvert was eliminated. With blinds
and antes at 5,000/10,000/2,000, the first hand of final table action saw Matt “Cub”
Culberson and Mike Wolf all in pre-flop. Culberson was ahead with A-7 off against Wolf’s
Jh-10c. Culberson flopped top pair and maintained his lead through the river. Wolf
earned $2,274 for ninth.
Eighth Place
Shortly after, Ray Hall moved all-in with pocket queens pre-flop and Scott Standridge
called with pocket sixes. The Jack high board was no help to Standridge, sending him
the payout table to collect $2,805.
Seventh Place
After Nathan Burdette raised to 45,000 in late position, Culberson re-raised all-in with
pocket 10’s for his remaining 90k. Burdette called with Kh-Ks. The board improved
neither player’s hand, ending Culberson’s tournament run. Culberson picked up $4,204
for his efforts.
Sixth Place
A few hands later, Jeter Brock made it 75,000 to go from the button while Zack
Lawmaster moved in the rest of his chips from the small blind with Ac-6c. Brock called
with 5c-5s and won the coin flip after no aces or sixes appeared on the board.
Lawmaster, a poker dealer from Tulsa, OK earned $5,602 for sixth place.
Fifth Place
With blinds at 8,000/16,000/3,000, the remaining five players struck a deal. While the
details were not disclosed, they decided to play it out for the ring. In the very next hand,
Burdette ran his Ac-3h into Luther Lewis’ pocket aces. The queen high board was no
help to either player, ending Burdette’s ring bid. Fifth place officially paid $5,602.
Fourth Place
The fourth place finisher was Ray Hall. All-in pre-flop, his pocket 9’s could not improve
against Mike Ashar’s pocket jacks on an ace-high board. Hall took home an official $7,000
payout.
Third Place
Lewis played conservatively throughout the final table and maintained his tight play
down to the end, at one point folding pocket nines all-in pre-flop to 62-year old
attorney Mike Ashar, who showed A-5 off.
Lewis’ patience eventually paid off after calling an all-in from Ashar, who had pocket 7’s.
Lewis turned over pocket jacks, which held through the river on a 10-high board. Ashar
officially earned $9,805 for third.
Second Place
At a decisive chip disadvantage to Lewis, Brock called his heads-up opponent aside.
After a couple of minutes of discussion, the tournament was over with Brock taking
home an official payout of $13,823 and Lewis the official $22,604 first place prize
and the Circuit Event gold ring.
“This is amazing man, I can’t believe it,” said Lewis, whose musical stylings can be
heard at his website www.lutherlewis.net.
When asked about nice guys finishing last: “Well, I guess I’ve proved today that
it’s not always true,” replied Lewis, smiling.
Still to come are 9 more events and daily single-day non-ring $125 and $230 buy-in
events which begin at 4 pm and 7pm. The WSOP Circuit at Harrah’s Tunica runs through
February 10th.
