After almost 10 hours of play, Cristian Tuica walked away the winner of Event #14: $400 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo for $33,799 and his first ever World Series of Poker Circuit ring.
“This is amazing,” Tuica exclaimed after his win, “I still can’t believe it happened.”
Normally an online player, Tucia was here for the series playing cash games but decided to take a break and tryout a live tournament.
The decision turned out to be a good one as he took down his first career WSOP tournament on his first try and really enjoyed the experience.
“My game at the final table was perfect,” stated Tuica. “I won all of my pots, my bluffs were working, I mean everything was perfect I had a lot of fun.”
