Richard Ashby Richard Ashby ‘s first live poker tournament victory since September 2019 has resulted in him adding a World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit ring to the WSOP bracelet he captured in 2010. Fittingly, Ashby, a Pot-Limit Omaha specialist, won his WSOPC ring in the £1,100 buy-in PLO event at the WSOPC Super Circuit in London .
Fifty-five entrants created a guarantee-busting £53,350 prize pool that the top eight finishers shared. A min-cash weighed in at £2,100 with the eventual champion, Ashby, receiving £15,430 and the all-important gold WSOPC ring. £1,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Final Table Results
