Tyler Barnes Denies Maurice Hawkins 16th Ring in WSOPC Cherokee Main Event
There’s been no shortage of big headlines from the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) as of late, including Daniel Lowerywinning his 15th ring at WSOPC Cherokee and Ari Engel soon after winning his 17th online to extend his lead on the all-time ring list.
The former ring list leader, Maurice Hawkins, came close to winning a 16th ring this week as he final tabled the $1,700 buy-in WSOPC Cherokee Main Event. The controversial player came up short with a third-place finish worth $178,870 as North Carolina’s Tyler Barnes shipped the 1,659-entrant event for $383,856 and his second Circuit ring.
The WSOPC Cherokee Main Event, which drew 1,659 entrants for a prize pool of $2.5 million, featured a particularly stacked final table that included Michael Wang (4th - $136,052), Adam Hendrix (5th - $104,413) and Andrew Moreno (6th - $80,857).
But it was Barnes, who won his first ring at a 2021 Cherokee stop, who came out on top as he earned a score that more than tripled his previous live earnings. In fact, Barnes eliminated every player at the nine-handed final table.
