The World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) made its latest stop at Choctaw Durant in Oklahoma and awarded plenty of big winners this time around. The biggest winner of them all was California's Sami Bechahed, who took down the $1,700 WSOPC Choctaw Main Event for $279,825 and his second Circuit ring to deny WSOPC Tulsa champion Arthur Morris back-to-back titles.

In total, there were 5,500 entrants across the 16 ring events offering over $3 million in prize money at the WSOPC Choctaw stop. Other highlights of the Circuit stop included Marsha Adams winning two events for her second and third Circuit rings and John Holley picking up his eighth career ring.

No Back-to-Back for Morris

The WSOPC Choctaw Main Event draw a field of 1,076 runners to generate a prize pool of $1.6 million. Bechahed navigated through the field and got to a final table that included Angela Jordison (4th - $96,595) and ten-time ring winner Daniel Lowery (9th - $27,808).

Bechahed, who won his first Circuit ring in December 2021 at the WSOPC Bicycle Casino stop in Los Angeles in a $400 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event, got heads-up against Morris, who was looking for back-to-back Main Event victories after taking down the WSOPC Tulsa Main Event in August for $182,379.

"It's pretty surreal, to be honest," Bechahed told WSOP after the victory, "there were a ton of good players here and I can say this was one of the toughest fields I've ever played in."
