Steve Foutty Wins 4th Career Gold Ring with PLO Victory in Lake Tahoe
While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the $1,700 Main Event, we��d be remiss if we didn��t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harveys Lake Tahoe.
In Event #6: $250 Pot-Limit Omaha, 137 runners created a $27,400 prize pool that was paid out to the top 21 spots. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were David Latshaw (10th - $509), David Larson (15th - $432), Jerod Smith (16th - $376), and Vince Burgio (20th - $337).
Steve Foutty, an army veteran out of Las Vegas, wound up beating Gary Neese in heads-up play to win the title for $7,256 and his fourth career gold ring.
��It��s been a while,�� Foutty said after the win. ��I play a little bit of (Omaha) cash �C I��m not that great to be honest. I try to just pick my spots well.��
He added: ��I just stick with my feel of the game and it works out well for me.��
