Horseshoe Baltimore Poker Tournaments

The World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Horseshoe Baltimore $1,675 Main Event was held at the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore in Maryland, with 449 players helping to create a prize pool worth $673,500. One of the players competing was Arkansas native Mike Cordell, who would eventually go on to win the tournament to claim a third career WSOPC ring, as well as a first place prize of $148,171.
Back in 2008, Cordell won the WSOPC Caesars Indiana $550 event for $21,274, and this year the WSOPC $365 Pot-Limit Omaha event for $14,661. In 2016, he also captured a coveted WSOP bracelet at the $1,500 NLHE 6-Handed event for $346,088. Following his latest winning performance in Baltimore, which pushes his career earnings to $780,814 and leapfrogs him from 6th to 4th on the Arkansas ‘All Time Money List’, Cordell, obviously fully still in poker mode, commented:
“I won the tournament, so it feels good. I know I don’t show it, but I’m ecstatic.”
The WSOPC Horseshoe Baltimore Main Event offered 45 money spots, and amongst the recognizable pros seeing a return on their buy-ins was Dennis Phillips in 42nd ($3,044), Alex Ziskin in 37th ($3,044), Ryan Jones in 36th ($3,354), and Andrew Brokos in 22nd ($5,570).
Mike Cordell subsequently entered the final table in pole position, but faced tough competition in the guise of WSOPC Harrah’s Cherokee champion Vanessa Truong, and 10-times WSOPC winner Maurice Hawkins.
Cordell (J-J) then sent Richard Smith (A-K) to the rail in 8th, followed by Robert Garrett in 4th, and Jeremy Stein in 3rd to take a more than 4-1 chip lead over Alex Queen into the final phase of the competition. Queen then looked set to make a comeback after getting his last 30bbs all-in preflop with A-A against his opponent’s K-J, but Cordell subsequently hit a king-high straight to wrap up his impressive victory.
Final Table Results:
1: Mike Cordell $148,171
2: Alex Queen $91,562
3: Jeremy Stein $66,905
4: Robert Garrett $49,667
5: Vanessa Truong $37,460
6: Joshua Vizcarra $28,671
7: Maurice Hawkins $22,266
8: Richard Smith $17,538
9: Ryan Tamanini $14,009

I played the Hosreshoe Baltimore for the first time yesterday and I have to say my impressions are mostly positive. The Shoe is the second casino to open up in the Baltimore area so it is obvious to draw comparisons to the other Baltimore Casino, Maryland Live (MDL.) LOCATION GRADE - D Lets get one thing out of the way, the location sucks.
