Tales from the World Series of Poker from both sides of the pond as Zach Schneider wins the World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event in Horseshoe Hammond, and Leon Tsoukernik sends high rollers cockeyed by adding three monster events to the World Series of Poker Europe schedule in the King’s Casino, Rozvadov. 

The World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) event in Horseshoe Hammond was always going to be a sparkler after Christopher Fuchs vanquished 2,563 entrants to win the $124,385 first prize in the $400 No-Limit Hold’em Re-Entry, opener.

The series, which ran from October 11-22, culminated in a $1,700 buy-in Main Event, and a familiar face at Horseshoe Hammond defeated 1,094 entrants to claim the $302,492 first prize.

Zachery Schneider entered the final day 3/23 in chips, and by the time the final table rolled into town, only one other person had more. Not that it mattered. Schneider fed on the final table like walrus feast on benthic bivalve molluscs, eliminating four of the last nine players, and at one time holding a third of the chips in play.
