La Sengphet Takes Down another Circuit Ring

Pokerati\’s favorite Laotian racking up championship points!

\"la

Is it too early to call her the Dwyte Pilgrim of 2011?

We were just telling you how well La Sengphet was playing … when boyfriend David Clark gave me a buzz to let me know, yo dude, don\’t hate on the short bus! But lest he start thinking he could keep up with his better half … yesterday she took down her second WSOP-circuit ring of the season — winning the last event of WSOP-St. Louis, a $345 NLH.

Not sure on the number of players or payout yet … we\’ll of course let you know. And pretty sure that\’s another 50 circuit championship points, too, which would put her 4th in the pool of 34 potential non-automatic qualifiers. And depending on the other deep runners in her event and the main … it looks like she may well have won the crown for Harrah\’s St. Louis \”casino champion\” … which would guarantee her a seat in the WSOP\’s million-dollar circuit freeroll in late May.

Meanwhile, they are celebrating La\’s victory all across Laos … though we did just learn they aren\’t doing this all for La … it also happens to be Laotian New Year all week.
