Shawn Brown Claims Third Event of Harrah’s
Tunica Circuit

First time WSOP Circuit Event cashers 3-3 so far at Harrah’s
Tunica

Final table not the only place to find a full house in the packed
events center at Tunica

TUNICA, MS - While over 600 players were in the early rounds of event #4 in the packed
event center at Harrah’s Tunica (with 200 more in the poker room), the third event of the
2009/2010 Circuit Events at Tunica was in its final stage.  

The remaining nine players of the $550 buy-in no limit hold’em event battled it out for a first
place prize of $32,397 and the coveted World Series of Poker Circuit Event ring.

The highest buy-in event of the Circuit so far attracted a field of 286 entrants and
generated a final table of disciplined and astute players.

Ninth Place
Halfway through level 24 with blinds and antes of 5,000/10,000/20,000, the first two
eliminations of the night took place when three players, Doyne Finney, Jason Mayfield and
Jerry Banach got involved in a three-way all-in pre-flop.   

Finney turned over the low pocket pair, Qc-Qh while Mayfield showed Ks-Kd. Banach,
however was ahead of both of his opponents with As-Ad.

The flop was a seemingly benign 4d-Jh-3h, however a 6h on the turn gave Banach cause
for alarm as Finney picked up the flush draw.

An 8h hit the river sending the crowd of spectators into an uproar. Finney, the oldest player
at the table by far at 70-years old, sat relieved as he sent his two junior opponents to the
rail. Banach earned $2,760 for 9th while Mayfield collected a $3,253 8th place prize.

Seventh Place
A short while later, Phillip Parker, a 44-year old NASA technician from Union Grove, AL,
moved all in with Ad-Js and got a call from Shawn Brown, who turned over Qd-Qc. The
board helped neither player, ending Parker’s run. 7th place paid $4,013.

Sixth Place
Ryan Watson was eliminated in sixth after moving all-in with Ah-Qh against Shawn Brown’s
Kc-8s. A king on the flop and blanks on the turn and river sent Watson to the payout table.
The 31-year old “cable guy” from Fayetteville, AR picked up $6,012 for his efforts.


Fifth Place
After a flop of 3d-8h-9d, Darren Dwyer moved all-in with Kd-Jd and got a call from Brown.
Brown showed pocket aces leaving Dwyer looking for another diamond to complete his
flush. Dwyer bricked the turn and river and his day was done. The 22-year old from Salem,
IL took home $8.012

Fourth Place
Robert “Skinny” Hankins, a 29-year old poker pro from Nashville, TN was the next player to
bust after moving his short-stack all-in with pocket sevens. The timing couldn’t have been
worse for Hankins as Finney turned over pocket jacks. Hankins, who final tabled twice last
year at the Tunica Circuit, was unable to catch another 7 on the board, ending his ring bid.
Fourth paid $10,025

Third Place
The final three players saw Brown with about 1 million in chips to Finney’s 1.4 million with
Charlie Dawson the short stack at 500,000. Shortly after the dinner break, Dawson thought
he had an opportunity to stack a few chips, shoving all-in with A-3 off-suit after a limp from
Finney.

Finney however, slow-rolled his opponent, showing Ad-Kc. A king on the flop put Finney
even farther ahead before blanks hit on the turn and river. Third place resulted in a
$14,024 payday for Dawson.

Second Place
Heads-up play began at about 8:22 pm. Brown and Finney had comparable stacks with
blinds and antes at 12,000/24,000/4,000. After a few hands of play, the two were all-in
after a flop of 7s-2c-6d. Finney showed 7d-5d for top pair, but Brown was ahead, having
double-paired with 6s-2s. An ace on the turn and king on the river ended the tournament
with Brown taking home a hefty $32,397 and a Circuit Event Ring. Finney collected $19,703
for second place

Brown, a 28-year old screen press company owner from St. Louis, MO says table image was
critical to his win. “I was playing like a maniac when we were down to two tables,” said
Brown.

“They thought I was the worst player, but after a while they figured out that that wasn’t
the case.”

Brown’s Circuit Event win was also his first cash. The winners of events #1 and #2, Michael
Crump and Jonathan Elliott were also first time Circuit Event Cashers.

Brown was ecstatic.

“Oh this is great man,” said Brown. “Halfway through the tournament, I told myself I was
going to win the ring. I refused to take anything other than first in this thing.”

Still to come are 16 more events and 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.
