Jason Ramos Defeats Art Harb to Win Event #1 ($97,061)
Jason Ramos (pictured above) has just put the finishing touches on his first WSOP Circuit victory, winning Event #1 to snag his first gold ring in the series' opening event.
On the final hand of the match, Ramos was dealt against Art Harb's . Harb got his remaining chips into the middle preflop, and Ramos' kicker kept him in front the whole way as the board ran out five blanks. The top prize of $97,061 is the largest payday of Ramos' poker career, with his first victory coming in one of the Circuit's largest preliminary events. The full story of his win will be published shortly.
