Jon Elliott Wins Event #2 in His First Circuit
Event Cash
Remaining eight players strike deal, but decide to play for the ring
TUNICA, MS – Jonathan Elliott, a 35-year old chemical operator from Soddy Daisy, TN is the
newest owner of a Circuit Event gold ring after winning the $340 buy-in no-limit hold’em
event #2 of the World Series of Poker Circuit Events at Harrah’s Tunica.
Event #2 attracted a field of 293 players vying for a first place prize of $19,401 and the ring.
Elliott was the chip leader coming into the final table and maintained his lead for much of
the evening.
Name Hometown Seat Chip Count
Jeff Houston Fort Madison, IA 1 70,000
Jim Mink Houston, TX 2 378,000
Joe McArthur Palatine, IL 3 115,000
Houston White Nashville, TN 4 450,000
Jonathan Elliott Soddy Daisy, TN 5 647,000
Donald Holford Norris, IL 6 540,000
Kevin Buck Lockport, IL 7 185,000
Jack Armstrong Burlington, IA 8 270,000
Josh Kassinger Dexter, MO 9 372,000
Ninth Place
Shortly after tripling up his 34k stack to 118k with pocket aces, Joe McArthur was the first
elimination after moving all-in pre-flop with Ad-3s. Kevin Buck was the benefactor after
calling with As-8c. An 8 on the turn left McArthur drawing dead. Ninth place paid $1,653.
Eighth Place
After about an hour of final table play, the eight remaining players stuck a deal during the
break. While details were not disclosed, they decided to play it out for the ring.
Halfway through the next level, a monster hand developed when Jack Armstrong moved
all-in pre-flop. Josh Kassinger and Donald Holford made the call and saw a flop of 10c-8c-9c.
Holford moved all-in with As-Ks and Armstrong made the call turning over a flopped set of
8’s. Armstrong was far ahead of both of his opponents with 9s-9d.
After a 10h on the turn came the whammy.
An 8d on the river gave Kassinger quads, sending Holford out in 7th and a dismayed
Armstrong to the rail in 8th. 7th and 8th places officially paid $2,404 and $1,949
respectively.
Sixth Place
The sixth place finisher was Jeff Houston. All-in, Houston was eliminated after his Ah-6c was
outflopped by Jim Mink’s Kc-9c. The 50-year old farmer from Iowa officially collected $3,602.
Fifth Place
Joshua Kassinger was the next player escorted to the payout table. After seeing his stack
dwindle to just over 150,000, Kassinger moved all-in with Kc-Jd and was unable to improve
on Houston White’s Ah-6h. Kassinger took home $4,800 for fifth
Fourth Place
A few hands after players returned from dinner break, Kevin Buck moved all-in with pocket
10’s. Mink made the call with A-K suited. An ace on the flop and blanks on the turn and river
ended Buck’s tournament run. Buck is a 32-year old musician whose music can be heard at
www.kevinmbuck.com. Fourth place officially paid $6,006.
Third Place
Houston White was eliminated in third place after his pocket 10’s were unable to hold up
against Kassinger’s Ac-Qh. The 24-year old from Nashville was officially picked up $8,402
Second Place
Heads-up play began shortly before 10:00 pm with Elliott holding nearly a 5-1 chip lead
over Mink. With blinds and antes at 20,000/40,000/5,000, mink raised pre-flop to 80,000
and Elliott moved all-in. Mink made the call with his remaining chips, turning over A-2 suited.
Elliott showed A-K. The jack-high board missed both players, giving Elliott his first Circuit
Event ring and an official payout of $19,401. Mink officially took home $11,804 for second.
“Yeah a bit disappointed, I really wanted that ring,” said Mink, an oilfield consultant from
Houston, TX who has been chasing his first Circuit Event ring since 2005. This was his third
Circuit final table appearance.
Mink’s WSOP history was in stark contrast to Elliott’s, whose win also marked his first Circuit
Event cash ever.
“I’m stoked,” said Elliott. “I’ve been playing Hold’em about seven years, but this is my first
Circuit cash.”
Still to come are 17 more events and daily (single-day) non-ring $230 and $340 buy-in
events which begin at 4 pm and 7pm. The WSOP Circuit at Harrah’s Tunica runs through
February 10th.
