Raymond “Fibber” McGhee Wins Harrah’s Tunica Circuit
Event #9
After years of playing high stakes cash games, McGhee wins his
first tournament
TUNICA, MS – While an ice storm brought temperatures down to the teens in Tunica, MS,
Raymond “Fibber” McGhee remained hot throughout day two of event #9 at the World
Series of Poker Circuit Events at Harrah’s Tunica.
McGhee, a 67-year old retired police detective from Little Rock, AR made it through a 230
player field to reach the final table.
Name Hometown Seat Chip Count
Danny Nelson Batesville, AR 1 114,000
Bob Talbot Hernando, MS 2 240,000
Raymond McGhee Little Rock, AR 3 350,000
Ben Carli Alliance, OH 4 300,000
Robert Russell Louisville, TN 5 310,000
Bruce Sturgeon Bedford, IN 6 157,000
Glyn Banks Smithville, TN 7 292,000
Ben Clayborn Memphis, TN 8 355,000
J.L. Murtagh Lincolnton, NC 9 210,000
Ninth Place
A few hands after the elimination of 62-year old retired civil servant, Rob Talbot, Ray
“Fibber” McGhee limped in UTG, while Bruce Sturgeon moved all-in from the cutoff. McGhee
made the call with 10d-10h and Sturgeon turned over As-10s. Fours on the flop and a 10
on the river completed the boat for McGhee and Sturgeon’s tournament run was finished.
Ninth paid $1,341. Sturgeon, a furniture store owner from Bedford, IN took home $1,581.
Seventh Place
John “J.L.” Murtagh went out in seventh place after moving all-in after flopping bottom pair
on a 4d-7c-Qc flop. Murtagh got a call from Ben Clayborn, who hit top pair. Blanks on the
turn and river sent Murtagh to the payout table to pick up $1,951 for seventh.
Sixth Place
Glyn Banks moved all-in with Ac-7h for his remaining 114,000 from middle position and
was called by Danny Nelson from the button with the rest of his chips. Ben Carli, in the
big blind, also called. Nelson showed pocket jacks while Carli turned over Ad-Kc. The flop
came 6c-5h-5c to give Banks the nut flush draw. A 4c and 2c on the turn and river
completed the flush to triple Banks up and eliminate Nelson. Nelson, a former NHRA drag
racing world champion, collected $2,923 for sixth.
Fifth Place
Robert Russell was the fifth place finisher after running his pocket sixes into Glyn Banks’
pocket Js-Jc. All-in on a 10-high board, Russell’s day was finished. Fifth paid $3,895.
Fourth Place
Fourth place went to Ben Clayborn after he moved all-in with As-3s on the river on a board
of 2d-2c-4s-Js-8c. McGhee made the call, revealing 2s-4d for a flopped boat. Clayborn’s
ninth major tournament final table resulted in a $4,867 payout.
Third Place
After mixing it up for a while with Banks, Carli was eliminated in third place after he
moved his short stack all-in preflop with Ad-Qd. McGhee made the call with Qh-8h.
McGhee paired both of his pockets and completed the boat with a third 8 on the turn.
Carli, nephew of all-time Circuit Event casher, Doug “Rico” Carli, took home $6,818 in his
major tournament debut.
Second Place
Heads up action saw McGhee with a 2-1 chip lead over Banks. In the final hand of the
night, Banks was all-in with Ac-7c vs. McGhee’s pocket jacks. Jacks held up to give
McGhee $15,715 first place money and the Circuit Event ring. Banks, who had made a
number of Circuit Event final tables and cashes, earned $9,611 for second.
McGhee is one of a number of Circuit Event winners who had never before played in a
major tournament.
But don’t call him green.
“I’ve been playing poker fifty years,” said McGhee. “I usually play high stakes cash games.”
“Fibber”
McGhee got his nickname from the old time radio show, “Fibber McGhee and Molly.” The
married comedy duo performed on air from the mid 30’s until the late 50’s
McGhee says his 20-year career in law enforcement helped developed an important
attribute that helped him win the tournament.
“Discipline,” said McGhee.
Still to come are 10 more events and 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.
