Event #3: $400 No-Limit Hold'em (4 Flights)

Rania Nasreddine, a Tulsa local, won Event #3 the $400 No-Limit Hold'em Multiflight tournament for $60,380 and her first WSOP gold circuit ring.

Nasreddine came into the final table with a slight chip lead over her tablemates. Among the other final tablists were WSOP ring winners Bart Bogard, Gabriel Attoun, and Mark Martin - Nasreddine defeated Martin heads to claim the top prize.

Between taking her winner's photos, several players swung by the feature table to congratulate Nasreddine on her achievement. Though she says the ring is nice, it's more about finding a place where she can challenge herself and spend time with her friends. Considering the number of players who came by to offer their congratulations, she has plenty of friends here at her home casino.

"Who doesn't want a ring or a bracelet," Nasreddine said, "it's nice. I want to excel, whatever that means."

The win hasn't changed her plans for the rest of the series. She looks forward to playing the main event and possibly finding another ring to go with the most recent addition to her trophy case.

There are 70 players left in Event #3 with Day 2 starting at noon Sunday.

The two Saturday flights got over 300 players each with 359 players in Flight C and 322 in Flight D.

Some players have already won some of the almost $400,000 prizepool and the remaining 70 players are vying for the top prize of $60,380 and the WSOP circuit gold ring.

The tournament will shift from 30-minute levels to 45-minute levels now that we're on to Day 2. Clarence Eldridge leads the final 70 players with a 842,000 stack - almost 200,000 more than the next closest player Chris Nickel (654,000).
