Josh Reichard reached the historical record, by winning the 14th WSOPC ring, he tied Maurice Hawkins
When you think of poker jewelry, almost everyone immediately thinks of diamond bracelets from the WSOP series. For more than half a century, players from all over the world have been competing to win these jewels, the most of which, as you probably know, has the legendary Phil Hellmuth. His 16 bracelets are easily the most anyone has ever won, but given the evolution of poker and the gap from other players (Phil Ivey, Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson each have 10 bracelets), it's highly likely that Phil will not be dethroned by anyone.
Much more interesting races take place in the daughter series WSOP Circuit, which distributes valuable rings to champions in various smaller stops around the world. As for the historical tables, American players play here as well, rewriting the ranking in the top places every year. At this point, as many as nine players have 10 or more rings to their credit, so, the race is much more open and exciting than in the case of WSOP bracelets. Until recently, Maurice Hawkins was at the top of the table, who won 14 valuable rings among 173 cashouts. In addition, the 15th narrowly escaped him in February when he finished second in the $2,200 High Roller at the WSOPC Cherokee for $44,205.
However, Hawkings already has to share the championship with fellow countryman Josh Reichard, who won the WSOPC Grand Victoria Main Event on April 18, but since he won his 14th ring in addition to $253,073, he rose to shared first place alongside the aforementioned Hawkins. "I feel really great! Honestly, I've never been interested in records and racing in different charts, but I'm starting to like this!" Like the aforementioned Phil Hellmuth, Reichard is from Wisconsin as well, which he finds an interesting coincidence: "Phil's photos are everywhere on the Internet. at the top of the WSOP bracelet rankings, and I always wondered what it would be like to stand next to him in the ring rankings. Two boys from Wisconsin - now I have more motivation to continue this race!”
