Three-Time Bracelet Winner Frankie O��Dell Captured 4th Circuit Ring
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at Thunder Valley to live report action from both the $1,700 Main Event and $3,250 High Roller, but those are just a couple of the dozen gold ring events at the stop. As such, we thought we��d profile some of the preliminary tournaments and those who struck it big.
In Event #5: $400 H.O.R.S.E., 65 runners created a $21,450 prize pool and saw veteran poker player Frankie O��Dell, a three-time WSOP gold bracelet winner, come out on top for $6,994 and his fourth career circuit ring.
��It feels great because all my rings are in mixed tournaments and all my bracelets are in mixed tournaments,�� he said after the win. ��I don��t think anybody has four rings in mixed tournaments. I might be standing alone.��
O��Dell, who won a bracelet over the summer, added: ��I just keep winning and winning feels good. Specially at the WSOP �� People are fighting out here to win. I just did my thing and we ended up on top. The tougher the competition, the sweeter the victory.��
