2008 WSOP Diary, June 25: Seniors Event Finished

Even in a Seniors event where someone can just look at the tables and see the people who are the foundation that the modern poker movement is built upon, new faces here can sometimes show up and have their first moment in the WSOP sun. Dan LaCourse is one of these late bloomers. During Day 2 of Event 42 Dan took control of this tournament, and didn't stop until he was strapping a World Series of Poker World Championship bracelet around his wrist. Considering the fact that he was facing off against 2,218 opponents, a new WSOP record for this event, nobody can say his road was easy.
