Robert Hahs wins Circuit Event #15 at Harrah’s Tunica
Hahs doubles up seven times at final table to get the win
TUNICA, MS – Tournament director Kevin Ferguson said it was the second biggest
comeback he had ever seen in his twenty years in poker. Down to less than two big
blinds at one point during final table play, Robert Hahs survived seven all-ins to win
Event #15 at the World Series of Poker Circuit Events at Harrah’s Tunica.
Hahs is a farmer from Jackson, MO. Through day one, he relied mostly on skill to make it
through the 230-player field, but it was a bit of luck that helped him during the final table.

Ninth Place
Final table play began with blinds and antes at 3,000/6,000/1,000. Lee Efford took a
200,000 chip stumble after he ran his K-Q into Rusty Farrin’s pocket kings on a queen
high board. Soon after, Efford moved his remaining stack all-in after flopping top pair
with Kc-10c on a Qc-Kh-7s flop.
He got a call from David Dao who showed 7h-Qh for two pair. A three on the turn and
ace on the river resulted in the first elimination of the night. Efford collected $1,341for
ninth.
Eighth Place
Down to only a few blinds, Alex Gyr moved his remaining chips all-in UTG preflop. Jeff
Ehman called, but folded after Farrin re-raised all-in. Gyr was left looking to pair his one
over card with Ac-Jd vs. Farrin’s pocket kings.
A jack on the flop gave Gyr a couple of more outs, but the kings held through the river.
Gyr earned $1,581 for eighth place.
Seventh Place
Ehman was eliminated in third place after running his pocket 3’s into Mark Endleman’s
pocket pair of aces. The Brownsburg, IN consulting firm owner took home $1,951 for his
two-days of play.
Sixth Place
All-in with pocket 10’s vs. Perry Ernest’s pocket queens, David In Choz lost any sliver of
hope for a double-up after the flop came Qc-7c-7h.
Blanks hit on the turn and river, sending him out in sixth place. In Choz is a 46-year old
finance manager from Atlanta, GA, he took home $2,923.
Fifth Place
With blinds and antes at 6,000/12,000/2,000, Endleman and Ernest were the big stacks
at the table with about 735,000 each. Farrin and Dao had 345,000 and 315,000
respectively while Robert Hahs was the short stack with 215,000.
Hahs, however, was not ready to give in. After doubling up through Endleman with
queens, he moved up the prize pool after Farrin got it all-in pre-flop with Qh-9h vs.
Endleman’s Ah-7c. The jack- high board missed both players, eliminating Farrin in fifth
place. Fifth paid $3,895.
Fourth Place
With two short stacks and two monster stacks remaining, it was a double-upalooza with
eight double-ups transpiring before the next elimination.
When it was all said and done, Dao went from 50,000 in chips to about 800,000 while
Ernest ended up the short stack with about 350,000 chips.
It was Endleman who ended up taking the brunt of it all.
Despite being the chip leader at the start of the all-in barrage, he took a few hits to his
stack and was eliminated after his pocket queens were cracked when Hahs completed a
straight on the river.
Hahs, who at one point was down to a mere 30,000, came out with the chip lead going
into three-way action.
Endleman is a 34-year old poker pro with numerous cashes and final table appearances.
He collected $4,687.
Third Place
After a flop of 5h-7s-6h, Ernest moved all-in with 7c-3c. Dao quickly called with 8s-9s with
the flopped straight. There was no help for Ernest on the turn or river and he was
eliminated. Ernest is a 48-year old financial advisor from Naperville, IL and a two-time
WSOP Circuit Event champion. He collected $6,818 in his bid for a third gold ring.
Second Place
After about nearly 8 hours of play, heads-up action got underway. Dao and Hahs had
considerable chip stacks with blinds and antes at 12,000/24,000/4,000. After doubling
through each other twice, the two decided to chop the remaining prize pool. The final
hand of the night saw Dao all-in with As-6s vs. Hahs’ pocket 7’s. Sevens held for Hahs,
giving him the win. Dao is a retired physician from Elizabethtown, KY. He finished second
to Kai Landry in the 2008/2009 WSOP Circuit Main Event at Harrah’s Tunica.
This was Hahs’ first major tournament victory.
“I feel great,” said Hahs. “It’s a beautiful ring and I’m proud of this win.”
Still to come are 4 more events and single-day non-ring $125, $230 and $340 buy-in
events which begin at 4 pm and 7pm. The WSOP Circuit at Harrah’s Tunica runs through
February 10th.
