New Father Andrew Chapman Wins First Ring in Foxwoods Omaha Hi-Lo Event #7

Andrew Chapman - Winner Event #7 - $12,012
Andrew Chapman, a professional poker dealer and player, bested a field of 143 entries to win his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit ring and $12,012 in the Foxwoods Omaha Hi-Lo Event #7.
Andrew and his partner Ashley just gave birth to this first child two weeks ago, a baby girl.

"And to think this only the second best thing that has happened to me this month," Chapman said, "It feels great. Tournament poker is such a grind. You are happy anytime you make the money, you are happy anytime you make the final table, and to win it is just the pinnacle. After coming close so many times, all the work I have put into poker feels validated right now."

Prior to today's win Chapman had three final table appearances in a row in this same event. He took 4th in 2014/2015 for $2,867, 2nd in 2015/2016 for $6,579, and today finally obtained the win he had come so close to the past few years.

Andrew said that he credits Ashley for being a rock solid mom and continuing to be supportive as he took two days away from playing dad to play this tournament.

Event #6 ($580 NLH) Olivier Lacoste Wins First Circuit Ring on Holiday from His Native France

Olivier Lacoste - Winner Event #6 - $17,640
Olivier Lacoste has secured his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit ring and $17,640 after taking down the $580 No-Limit Hold'em Event #6 at Foxwoods Casino. Lacoste is here on the East Coast on holiday with his family from France.

"It's truly a poker story," Lacoste explained, "I met my wife in 2009 at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, we got married, have two children, and now live in France. I am here in Massachusetts for three weeks on holiday visiting my wife's family, my in-laws. I decided to play this tournament, and now I have won a Circuit ring. Unbelievable."

Lacoste defines himself as a recreational player. He used to play live and online in France, but now his job as a financial advisor, and his two children take precedence over poker.

Lacoste was actually eliminated the very last hand before registration closed in this event. He flopped a set of queens against Foxwoods' regular Bobby Corcione's flopped set of aces. He quickly re-entered, and made his way into the money that night, and to the winner's spotlight the following afternoon.

This will be the only tournament of the series that Lacoste is able to play due to family obligations, but he is very excited to have secured a WSOP ring, and hopes that he can also continue his run at the WSOP International Circuit stop in France in November 2017.
