Boyd strikes it rich at poker tournament |
Russ "Dutch" Boyd, a University of Missouri law
school graduate, won the World Series of Poker
No Limit Hold ’Em Short Handed tournament
yesterday in Las Vegas, earning $475,000 and his
first WSOP bracelet.
At the final table, Boyd went head-to-head with
Joseph Hachem. Before the decisive hand, Boyd
was the chip leader with $1,460,000, while
Hachem had $600,000.
In No Limit Hold ’Em, each player is dealt two
cards and they bet before three community cards,
known as the Flop, are turned over. Then there’s
more betting before another card, known as the
Turn, and the final card, called the River, are
revealed. When the last community card is
turned, the best poker hand among those still in
the game wins.
Boyd drew an Ace and 5 and bet all his chips.
Hachem, who drew an Ace-Queen, stayed in the
hand. The next four cards flipped were an Ace,
King, 9 and Jack, which meant Hachem still had
the advantage. But the River revealed a 5,
giving Boyd two pair and the victory.
Boyd is the son of Columbia’s Eva Seibert. He
graduated from Central Missouri State at age 14
and moved to Columbia with Seibert and his
brother Bobby so he could attend law school at
MU. He graduated from law school at age 18 in
1999 and became a star in the poker world when
he finished 12th at the 2003 World Series of
Poker. |
