While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the High Roller and Main Event, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Horseshoe Hammond.

In Event #7: $400 Omaha 8 or Better, 104 runners created a $34,320 prize pool that was paid out to the top 16 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the official final table were Kane Francis (10th- $696), John Holley (11th - $696), Andy Edgington (12th - $696, Paul Ewen (13th - $613), Chester Foster (14th - $613), Gregory Smith (15th- $613), and Thomas Ackmann (16th - $558)

In the end, it was Illinois native Dragan Culafic who shipped his first gold ring along with a $9,806 payday.

“It feels pretty good.” Culafic stated after his win. “I’m not really a tournament player, but winning the ring definitely feels nice.”

Culafic went into the final table near the bottom of the pack but grinded his way the heads-up battle where he way a 4:1 underdog against Mariia Levseieva.

The chip disadvantage didn’t discourage Culafic as he stayed focused and picked his spots collecting all the chips to earn his first career WSOPC ring.

Culafic’s victory secured his first WSOP cash for $9,806 along with 50 casino points towards the Global Casino Championship.
