ST. LOUIS, MO. – Doug Lovelace, a 40-year-old financial advisor from Richmond, VA is the winner of Circuit Event #7 at Harrah’s St. Louis. Lovelace describes his style of play as a bit unorthodox as he willing to risk substantial amounts of chips with marginal hands in order to see more than his share of flops. He says that, mixed with making the right-sized bets with the best hand led him to success in the $400 (+50) buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament. Event #7 attracted a field of 230 players and generated a total prize pool of $89,240.
The WSOP Circuit Events at Harrah’s St. Louis have been a success so far through seven events. Event #1 attracted a field of 675 players and was the largest poker tournament ever played in the state of Missouri. Field sizes remained strong with the weekday $350 buy-in events drawing an average of 292 players. Players have lauded the tournament structures, quality of the dealers and the overall poker playing experience. Day One of Event #7 ended around 1:15 am with the final nine remaining players returning the following day to play it down to a winner. Along with Lovelace, another financial analyst at the Final Table, Perry Ernest of Naperville, IL, was in position to move up a notch in the race for a record fifth Circuit Event Ring as he looked to pick up his third WSOPC win. The chip leader heading into final table play was poker pro Patrick Fogleman. written by wsop staff
