Maurice Hawkins now stands alone atop the World Series of Poker Circuit��s all-time ring count after capturing No. 13 and taking a one-ring lead over Valentin Vornicu. Hawkins didn't spend long tied with Vornicu as he won his 12th ring just two weeks ago.

Hawkins�� record-breaking win came at the WSOP Circuit stop at Horseshoe Tunica when he topped a 432-entry field to win Event #8: $400 NLH Monster Stack, good for $31,372. That brought his lifetime WSOP earnings up over $2.3 million over 89 Circuit cashes and 23 coming from the summer��s WSOP.

��I made a conscious effort to play better,�� Hawkins told WSOP officials after the win. ��And to be more focused, and to really value the opportunities and blessings that I have. I have the ability to play poker for a living, so I've been focusing on being a better person, on and off the felt, and it's translating all over.��

Eye on a Bracelet

Days before winning his latest ring, Hawkins took to social media to share some motivation for the upcoming summer grind.

��It doesn��t matter your circumstance, background or education level. You have the power, to get off your ass and start preparing for your dreams tomorrow,�� he tweeted. ��Mistakes will be made. BUT LEARN, ADAPT, BE BETTER AND DO YOUR BEST. Your future is in front of you. Work for it.��

He followed it up with: ��My goal for this 2019 WSOP is to have My Home Paid off. My whip shining new. (Got to have a payment on it, because I Likes to Ball, LOL) 18 Karats around my neck, Rolex on my wrist and have no Debt of any kind. These are my Visions before the Bracelet.��

Hawkins came close to a bracelet two years ago when he finished sixth out of 6,716 entries in Event #47: $1,500 Monster Stack for $213,591. While he doesn��t have WSOP gold around his list, he now has enough rings for all ten fingers and three toes.
