The WSOPC Horseshoe Las Vegas $1,700 Main Event attracted 833 entries and offered up a $1,261,995 prize pool. The field was chock full of Las Vegas crushers including Ryan Laplante (10th - $17,681), Chino Rheem (14th - $14,329), and Daniel Jones (24th - $8,165), just to name a few.

Similarly, there were a lot of familiar names at the final table including Bin Weng and Alex Foxen, who actually squared off in heads-up play. Eventually, Weng stopped the high roller juggernaut that is Foxen and wound up winning the tournament for $227,344 and his first gold ring.

��This tournament meant a lot to me,�� said Wend, who recently won the Borgata Return Championship for a smooth $1 million. ��I have won four or five titles, but never a WSOP tournament. Getting a ring means a lot to me, I��m kind of speechless right because I��m just so excited.��

He added: ��Alex Foxen is one of my poker idols. We are originally from the same area, Long Island. I just feel so thankful to take this down and get the chance to play with Foxen. He is one of the best players right now.��

Meanwhile, down in North Carolina, the WSOPC Harrah��s Cherokee $1,700 Main Event attracted 1,703 entrants who generated a prize pool of $2,356,299. That was paid out to the top 171 finishers, and among those to make deep runs were Nir Cohen (10th - $32,588), Tommy Vu (15th - $26,435), Eric Salazar (19th - $17,898), Chris Conrad (67th - $5,053), and Alex Rocha (70th - $5,053).

Finishing as the last player standing in the tournament was none other than poker pro Brian Altman, who not only captured a massive $391,753 top prize but also his fourth circuit ring. That goes nicely with the 2022 WSOP Online Bracelet he won in Event #3: $400 NLH Ultra Deepstack for $110,662.

The win moves Altman over $7 million in career tournament earnings according to the Hendon Mob. Altman has an impressive poker r��sum�� but is perhaps best known for capturing a trio of World Poker Tour (WPT) titles, all in the state of Florida.
