Luiz Yepez Credits the Lord for $112k Win at WSOPC Southern Indiana
Table Of Contents
The World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) festival at Caesars Southern Indiana came to a close with Luis Yepez taking first place in the Main Event.
The festival awarded eighteen WSOPC rings over the course of 12 action-packed days of poker.
A total of 338 players turned out for the WSOP Circuit Southern Indiana main event. With a buy-in of $1,700, there was over half-a-million dollars in play with $111,979 up top for first place.
The Passion of Yepez
Yepez earned his win the hard way, battling it out heads up with Niles Lawless for nearly four hours. During the heads up confrontation, the chips moved back and forth without a single all in until the final hand.
Unusually, Yepez attributed his victory not to the poker gods, but to a more traditional deity.
“I have to thank the Lord” Yepez told WSOP.com during his post-victory interview. “I can’t do it without Him. He is the most important thing.”
Yepez also noted the Christian significance of his winning hand, a pair of threes in the hole — explaining that the crucifixion was supposed to have occured when Jesus was 33 years old.
