Bryan Micon Wins H.O.R.S.E. Event at Wynn!
March 20, 2011
Bryan Micon, the self-proclaimed “King of all Degnerates,” recently won the Wynn HORSE Poker Classic earlier in the week, beating out a field that included Keith Sexton and Sam Grizzle among some other notable names.
The tournament itself attracted a decent field for the type of game, which isn’t particularly popular as Texas Hold’Em or Omaha - and at $550 a pop just to get in, the final prizepool was pretty solid at $14k for 1st place!
Micon made a series of tweets on Twitter.com and had a nice rail thread going on over at the popular staking site ChipMeUp, which really started to gain steam as he announced he made it to the final table.
En route to becoming one of the final 9 there was a definite wave of controversy as he would be berated and screamed at by Full Tilt red pro Keith Sexton during a Stud hand earlier in the evening. Sexton and his two sons (who were railing their dad) continued the yelling match at Micon when they felt he slowrolled Keith on 7th street when Bryan re-raised with a full house, beating out the shown 2-pair of Queens and 6’s on Sexton’s end.
Interesting way to represent one of the best USA poker sites out there Keith!
After the dust settled it would be Sexton who would hit the rail early, setting up Micon as one of the favorites to take the HORSE tournament down at the mega resort of Steve Wynn’s.
When it got 3-handed, there were over a million in chips that were in play, and Bryan ended up taking a deal that left an additional $1k for first place. Turns out that deal would serve him well as he would beat his opponent heads up for the title and a cool $15,000!
