Carlos Loving - Event #14 Winner
A multi-ring winner added to his World Series of Poker gold count on Wednesday at the Bally’s Las Vegas Circuit. Carlos Loving, three-time gold ring winner, topped 168 entries in Event #14: $600 No-Limit Hold’em Double Stack to claim his fourth Circuit title and $21,741. The tournament took two days to reach a conclusion and, all in all, Loving had a stress-free ride to the top.
“I won my all ins. The best hand held and I had the best hand most of the time,” Loving stated. “But yeah, it went pretty smooth. I was able to just play small-ball poker and accumulate chips.”
Loving bagged Day 1 with a middling stack. From there, on Day 2, he reached the final table in a similar position. He surged into heads-up action with a large chip advantage over seven-time gold ring winner Roland Israelashvili.
The heads-up battle only took around 30 minutes. With the huge lead, Loving was still lucky to crack the pocket aces of Israelashvili with jack-nine suited to take down the final pot of Event #15.
Loving, originally from Florida, is now living in Las Vegas. The Poker Pro has two gold-ring victories in his home state, one at Ameristar in Missouri, and now a Circuit title from his new residence. Additionally, his recent win was a bit more meaningful than the rest.
“This one is very special to me because I wanted to win it for my grandmother. She just passed, and today is my grandfather’s birthday,” mentioned Loving.
