Leslie Scearcy scores first ring in $250 no-limit hold'em single-day
A few years ago, Leslie Scearcy's best cash was in another event in Los Angeles, where she finished fifth for about $9,000. The player that knocked her out was tournament veteran Pete Hengsakul. In the early hours of Thursday morning, Scearcy got her revenge.
Scearcy defeated Hengsakul heads-up to win her first Circuit ring and earn $16,090. Hengsakul earned $9,955 for his runner-up finish and also earned this stop's Casino Champion title with his second runner-up finish of the series.
A complete report will be published as soon as possible.
