Graton made its WSOP Circuit debut last season with an incredibly successful series that saw a massive schedule of 20 ring events including mixed games, a High Roller event, two seniors events, and just under $3,000,000 awarded in massive prizepool after massive prizepool.
Among the series’ highlights was the WSOP Circuit’s all-time ring leader Ari Engel adding two more to his tally with victories in the $400 H.O.R.S.E. and $400 Big O events.
The series hit its crescendo with a $1,700 Main Event that nearly doubled its $500,000 guarantee.
Michael Persky took home $175,595 from the $933,240 prizepool for his triumph over a field of 616 entries, and as we’d soon find out, he was just getting started, as he won the Circuit Main Event at Thunder Valley just six weeks later.
