$\"Record$ Maurice Hawkins won his 25th WSOP Circuit gold ring in Harascherocchio, pushing his own all-time record even higher. He defeated James Calderaro in heads-up play, scoring 1 TP 4 T 113, 223.<\/em><\/p>\n

Maurice Hawkins continued his winning streak at the poker table, winning his 25th World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) gold ring and pushing his own record even further.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
This controversial figure in the poker world won the #9: 1,100 No-Limit Hold'em event in Harlas Cherokee, taking home $113,233. He defeated a field of 631 players in North Carolina, with a final table packed with top players.<\/p>\n
Pushing the record even higher<\/strong><\/h4>\n
In recent weeks, Hawkins made headlines after PokerNews reported that he had filed for bankruptcy in Florida. He subsequently appeared on the PokerNews Podcast to recount his story and engaged in a heated discussion with co-host Mike Holtz, who accused the WSOPC tycoon of trying to "get away with these debts."<\/p>\n
Debt controversies aside, Hawkins can be considered the Phil Hellmuth of the WSOP circuit. He defeated James Calderaro in heads-up play to win his 25th gold ring. He was already a record holder, and now he has left his rivals far behind. Ari Engel and Daniel Lowery are tied for second with 20 gold rings each, a significant gap between them.<\/p>\n

Hawkins successfully defeated these highly skilled professionals. His career prize money surpasses $7 million after winning the Tour title in Harascherokyi. He won his first Tour gold ring in 2008 and has added three more this year.<\/p>\n
The WSOP Circuit Series in Harascherocchi, comprising 18 ring events, will conclude on Monday with the $1,700 buy-in Main Event. Following this, the WSOP focus will shift to Las Vegas for the Summer Series, featuring 100 bracelet events.<\/p>\n
