Lane wins WSOPC New Orleans; Eye of the Grinder; good news for NJ players

A trio of World Series of Poker tales including Chris Lane winning the final World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event of the season, a bracelet winner with a potential WSOP anthem, and good news for New Jersey online grinders.

The 2018/19 World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) has gone the way of the Dodo after Chris Lane took down the $1,700 buy-in Main Event at New Orleans.

The 582-entrant event ensured the $881,000 prize pool beat the crap out of the $750,000 guarantee, and Lane, from Jackson Mississipi, banked the $185,158 first prize along with the final seat into the WSOP Global Casino Championships, and the chance to win a bracelet.

Lane overcame a final table devoid of star status and experience to earn his most significant win. The graphic designer has been playing poker for 6-7 years, and this is his third crown. Lane’s first-ever cash was a victory in the Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) Main Event in Vicksburg back in 2014.
