Dan Lacourse, 2008 WSOP $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em World Champion
What better way to end the 2008 WSOP Seniors World Championship than with trips? Dan Lacourse called Dale Eberle all-in with a 7-9 off-suit and calmly watched the flop of 9-9-K, no diamonds, mostly avoid Eberle's K-4 of diamonds. The turn was a deuce and retired fireman Eberle was down to needing a King to stay alive. Instead of the needed paint the river was an 8 giving Lacourse the trips and the championship.
Dan Lacourse takes home his first WSOP gold bracelet and $368,832 in cash. Dale Eberle goes back into retirement with $131,194. Marc Fluss received $156,424 for hanging in to finish in third place.
Champion Dan Lacourse's said he will probably be the only player in his friend's game back home with a WSOP gold bracelet. Congratulations to Dan Lacourse for becoming the 2008 WSOP Senior's World Champion.
