A round-up of World Series of Poker related news including a record ten gold rings for Valentin Vornicu, and tales of joy and tragedy from the World Series of Poker Europe. 

Maurice Hawkins needs to shift over, Valentin Vornicu needs some space on the podium.

The World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) gold ring vacuum cleaner made it number ten after jetting into Lake Tahoe in time to register for the last event of the 12-ring series, which he promptly won for $14,429.

Vornicu won a $365 one-day event to tie with Hawkins at the top of the all-time gold ring leaderboard.
