Teresa Lammie wins first WSOPC ring in Turbo event
When the Turbo event reached the final table, all eyes were on Maurice Hawkins as he went for a record-tying 16th WSOPC ring. But it wasn't his day, he bowed out in 8th place when his aces got cracked. Teresa Lammie won her first ring in an event she tried to avoid playing.
"I wasn't even going to play this tournament," Lammie said. "I busted the Monster Stack earlier in the day, then I was playing Blackjack with a friend and they convinced me to jump in."
"It's a good idea now," she joked. After her win she woke her husband up with $9,148 worth good news in a Facetime call.
"I'm a local player and I've been chasing a ring for about ten years now," she added. "I'm local to the area so I play these events every time something comes through."
