Ari Engel, a professional poker player, has set a new record by winning his 16th World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit ring. Engel achieved this milestone by winning the $400 Omaha 8 event at the Hammond WSOP Circuit. With this victory, Engel surpasses Maurice Hawkins to become the all-time leader in circuit-ring wins. Engel's impressive poker career includes 13 live rings and 3 online rings, as well as 2 WSOP bracelets. He has also finished as a runner-up in 9 ring events and has achieved 50 top-five finishes. Engel's success has earned him the title of the "GOAT" (Greatest of All Time) in the WSOP Circuit. The WSOP Circuit will continue with upcoming events at HarrahsPompano and HarrahsCherokee, offering millions of dollars in guarantees. However, some players have expressed disappointment with the structure of certain circuit events, such as the $1125 "hi roller" event, which has not been revamped to offer more play and chips.
Powers that be @WSOP. The $1125 "hi roller" circuit events have always been 30k/40m levels. Several other circuit structures have been revamped this year to offer more play/chips, however today's $1125event was still 30k and now reduced to 30m. That is a hard sell when… https://t.co/dYdQYWxYzn
