Dan Lowrey (cover image) has cemented his place in poker history by capturing his 16th World Series of Poker Circuit ring! This incredible feat came in Event #9: $250 Seniors No-Limit Hold’em at the Choctaw Casino and Resort on Monday, where he outlasted a massive field of 500 entries to claim the title and the lion`s share of the $100,000 prize pool worth $18,682.

Lowrey’s victory was a masterclass in poker strategy and experience. He navigated his way through the competition, ultimately defeating Brian Green heads-up. Green put up a valiant fight but had to settle for the runner-up spot and $12,451, while Eric Ritter rounded out the top three with a $8,630 score.

This latest victory puts Lowrey in a tie with Maurice Hawkins for second place on the all-time WSOP Circuit ring list, just one ring behind the current leader, Ari Engel.

A Seniors Event Specialist

Lowery has clearly figured out the secrets to success in seniors events. “You have to adjust your strategy a bit,” he explained.

Despite being one of the younger players in the field, Lowery believes his extensive experience gives him an edge.

When asked about what keeps him motivated to play and chase rings, Lowery’s answer was refreshingly simple.

The Value of a WSOP Circuit Ring

Lowery’s 16th ring win has reignited the debate about the value of WSOP Circuit rings. Maurice Hawkins, who currently shares the second spot on the all-time list with Lowery, recently expressed his opinion that the rings have become “worthless” due to the increase in online events and smaller buy-in tournaments.

While Hawkins raises a valid point, it’s unlikely that he’ll stop playing for them anytime soon, as he’s one of the Circuit’s most dedicated grinders. And with Lowery hot on his heels, the race for the top spot on the all-time ring list is sure to be an exciting one to watch.
