WSOP Circuit Event Won by Lassie

In Tunica the World Series of Poker Circuit is underway at the Grand Casino Tunica. The first event, a $300 No Limit Holdem tourney, was won by a man who is familiar with holding records, Bobby Lassie Sr., a drag racing champion. His victory - the first poker win of its kind for Lassie - brought him more than $35k, the WSOPC gold and diamond ring. Lassie won his drag racing record by making an eight mile in under five and a half seconds. Lassie beat out 400 other players to take the largest portion of the $116,991 prize pool.
