Last week, the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) wrapped up its stop at Hard Rock Tulsa, a stop consisting of 13 ring events that generated $1.9 million in prize money. That included the $1,700 buy-in WSOPC Tulsa Main Event, which drew 472 runners for a prize pool of $715,080.
Houston’s Han Feng won his first ring and a career-best $144,413 as he took down the Main Event and defeated a final table that included runner-up Jared Ward (2nd – $89,255), Bryce Laymance (3rd – $65,217) and four-time ring winner Brian Altman, who made back-to-back WSOPC Main Event final tables after finishing eighth in the Hammond Main Event for $32,639.
