First Two Ring Winners Crowned at the 2024 WSOP Circuit UK

The first two of 11 World Series of Poker Circuit rings have been awarded at the 2024 WSOP Circuit UK at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham. Peggy Crawford took down the £230 Ladies Event, with Andrew Maskell crowned the £340 Colossus champion.
The festival concludes on March 24, and there are another nine gold rings waiting to be won, making for a busy few days at the home of British poker, Dusk Till Dawn.
Peggy Crawford Crowned Ladies Champion
The £230 buy-in Ladies Event drew in 32 entrants, who created a £6,144 prize pool that the top four finishers shared. Fourth place went to Yanwen Li, who collected £645. Li’s first live recorded cash was at Dusk Till Dawn in December 2023 when she finished fourth in a £120 buy-in bounty tournament. More recently, Li cashed in the £560 buy-in 888poker UKPL Edinburgh Main Event.
Third place and £1,105 went to Natalie Musumeci, another lady with DTD cashes on her resume. Musumeci’s exit left Peggy Crawford heads-up against Susan Mason for the title, the largest slice of the prize pool, and the all-important WSOP Circuit ring.
Mason fell at the final hurdle and had to be content with the £1,720 runner-up prize, leaving Crawford to forever call herself a WSOP Circuit champion and recipient of a career-best £2,674.
Crawford is relatively new to the poker scene, having only played for approximately a year. She documents her progress via her PocketPeg YouTube channel; be sure to give her a follow.

Alexander Maskell Takes Down the WSOP Circuit UK Colossus
Some 467 players descended on the £340 Colossus and created a £134,496 prize pool. Only 70 of those hopefuls saw a return on their investment. Among those finishing inside the money places were Marcel Luske, James Clarke, Jack Allen, Ryan Spittles, Robert Boon, Jessica Pilkington, and James Atkin.
Each of the nine players who navigated their way to the final table locked in at least £2,500 for their efforts, the sum Dhruv Panchmatta banked shortly after falling in ninth. Eighth place and £3,000 went to a player wishing to remain anonymous before David Price crashed out in seventh for a career-best £3,750.
Dusk Till Dawn regular Christopher Vernon saw his latest deep run in Nottingham end in a sixth-place finish worth £4,500. Whether it was the relief of seeing the dangerous Vernon heading for the cashier’s desk or something entirely unrelated, but the final five players struck a deal, bumping their minimum guaranteed take-home pay from £5,500 to over £11,000.
Yifei Chen, who took down a £120 buy-in event at Dusk Till Dawn less than a month ago for £9,660, busted in fifth for £11,391. Thang Truong joined the list of eliminated players soon after, doing so with a payout slip for £11,305.
Christopher Fleming’s first live score since Boxing Day 2017 saw him finish third for £15,155. Both players had already secured their largest-ever live scores
Alexander Maskell and Danny Strange locked horns heads-up for the title and the WSOP Circuit ring, so getting their hand, or should that be finger, on the gold ring was their primary focus.
The one-on-one battle went Maskell’s way, and he scooped £16,020 and the aforementioned ring, leaving Strange to collect £12,425.
