Thursday features a new $365 NLHE gold ring event as well as a $365 PLO re-buy gold ring event.
Elizabeth, Ind. (October 8, 2015) -- Thursday is Main Event eve here at the Horseshoe Southern Indiana property. It's a big day that includes one final table, two brand new gold ring events and two Main Event Mega Satellites.
The final table today is for Event #7 - $365 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty. Yesterday the bounties were important, but today they pale in comparison to the final table pay jumps. The winner of the bounty tournament will earn $9,396 and a WSOP Circuit gold ring.
