There��s a good chance you��ve never heard of 57-year-old Martin Ryan, who hails from Trinidad and Tobago. He flies under the radar, but over the weekend he made noise down at Harrah��s Cherokee when he won his eighth World Series of Poker Circuit gold ring.

While eight rings tie him in seventh place on the all-time leaderboard alongside Chris Reslock, what is truly remarkable is that he��s won them all in just a two-year period.

Ryan: "I have to stop because back home in Trinidad they need me.��

His most recent win came over a 1,166-entry field in the WSOP Circuit Harrah��s Cherokee Event #8: $400 Monster Stack, good for a career-high $70,226. It also marked his third ring of the young 2018/19 season, which is less than three months old.

It started back in September when he won the WSOP Circuit Seminole Casino Coconut Creek Event #3: $1,125 NLH for $21,375. He followed that up with two more final table appearances at the stop, and then on November 10 shipped the WSOP Circuit Choctaw Durant Event #12: $600 NLH for $19,323.

A Hot Caribbean Start

Ryan��s unprecedented run began two years ago in November of 2016. That is when the WSOP International Circuit visited Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino in St Maarten. Ryan captured his first ring by taking down Event #5: $365 PLO for $8,730, and the very next day won No. 2 in Event #6: $365 NLH for $10,900. Toss in an eighth-place finish in the Main Event for an additional $9,700 and it was obviously a great stop for the then two-time ring winner.

However, a month later he captured his third in the WSOP Circuit Bicycle Casino Event #8: $1,125 NLH for $34,510, and then in February 2017 won the WSOP Circuit Palm Beach Kennel Club Event #3: $580 NLH for $24,829. Things were relatively quiet for Martin the remainder of 2017 and the first half of 2018, but he��s now returned to form.

Unfortunately, Ryan isn��t sure if he��ll be able to keep the ball rolling.

��I��m promising everybody I have to stop because back home in Trinidad they need me,�� he told WSOP officials. ��I run a game.��

Ryan currently sits third on Trinidad and Tobago��s all-time money list on The Hendon Mob with $452,410 in earnings behind only Ryan Goindoo ($756,370) and Jeremy Pantin ($571,705).
