The first elusive World Series of Poker Circuit ring has been awarded at the 2016 WSOPC Caribbean festival on the sunny island of Sint Maarten. Only 43 hopefuls out of a 236-entry strong field returned to the tables of the Casino Royale and 18 of them would leave empty-handed.
It took almost 10 levels to eventually determine a winner and it was Jean-Pierre Didier who emerged victorious after first cutting a deal with Dueval Fenton and Patrick Alain before sending both to the rail in quick succession.
