The latest World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) stop wrapped up at Grand Victoria Casino in Illinois, and there were some notable winners across the 16 events that ran Nov. 9-20 and generated over $3.2 million in prize money.
Midwest poker crusher Josh Reichard won his 15th Circuit ring in and $19,786 in Event #13: $400 No-Limit Hold’em to tie Maurice Hawkins in second place on the all-time ring list.
Meanwhile, reigning GPI and Mid-Major Player of the Year Stephen Song took down the $1,700 buy-in WSOPC Grand Victoria Main Event for $183,508 for his fourth ring and fifth piece of WSOP hardware.
Reichard Ties Hawkins In Second On All-Time Ring List
The latest ring victory for Reichard came less than a week after he made a deep run in the NAPT $1,100 Mystery Bounty at Las Vegas.
The Wisconsin poker legend defeated fellow Wisconsin native Kathy Pink, who was after her first ring but had to settle for the runner-up prize of $12,228.
Reichard moved up on the all-time ring list that once again needed adjusting. In April, Reichard won his 14th ring in the WSOPC Grand Victoria Main Event to briefly tie Hawkins at the top of the list before the Floridian won a 15th ring not a month later.

Then, Ari Engel went on a run to win his 14th, 15th and 16th rings to dethrone Hawkins as Daniel Lowery went on a run of his own by winning four Circuit rings this year for a total of 14.
Another Wisconsin native, Dustin Ethridge, finished third for $8,789, while others at the final table included Chicago’s Marius Toderici (5th – $4,786), Massachusetts’ Boban Nikolic (7th – $2,801) and Indiana’s Christopher Underwood (8th – $2,204).
