Josh Mancuso picks up his first World Series of Poker Circuit gold ring, after defeating the four-time ring winner, Daniel Lowery, in heads-up action, at Harrah’s New Orleans.

Four down, eight to go, and Josh Mancuso has picked up the biggest score yet, as the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) drops its anchor in New Orleans.

The young man from Louisiana topped a field of 1,153 entrants in Event #4: $365 No-Limit Hold’em Re-Entry, an event that’s proving to be mighty popular with the WSOPC crowd this season.

The WSOP slapped a $25,000 guarantee on the event. The players raised $345,900. Maybe there’s a bean counter walking around with a glass eye? The event contained three-starting flights, 154 players returned for Day 2, and by the time the cleaners had packed up and left only three remained. A third day of action would have to be planned.
