WSOPC NEW ORLEANS: TRUESDELL WINS A SEE-SAW BATTLE

Local man Justin Truesdell is the King of New Orleans! Truesdell is the final winner on the World Poker Tour Circuit before the National Championship, winning the 2012 WSOP Circuit New Orleans Main Event.

It was a see-saw affair between Truesdell and runner-up Andrew Nguyen. Nguyen had a large chip lead early during heads up play but once Truesdell caught up, it was back and forth for the chip lead.

In the end, Truesdell wins one for the great state of Louisiana, down on the bayou, collecting his second WSOPC ring ... Truesdell won a side event at WSOPC Tunica back in 2009.
