On Monday, Maurice Hawkins won his 12th World Series of Poker Circuit ring, putting him tied atop the list of most rings won, along with Valentin Vornicu. It came in Harrah's Cherokee Event #4: $600 No-Limit Hold'em where he outlasted a field of 391 to collect $44,297 and his 12th gold.

“It’s not really about the top spot. I still got the most money earned, most everything on the WSOP Circuit.'

While most rings isn't the title he's most concerned about, Hawkins is happy with what his results indicate, as he shared with WSOP tournament reporters.

“It’s not really about the top spot,' he said. 'I still got the most money earned, most everything on the WSOP Circuit, so it’s pretty much the standard, but that makes me feel like my game has evolved to where it should be. I look forward to bigger and better things. It’s all about positivity and good flow of things going the right way.”

Hawkins, 39, has been all about the positivity of late, frequently posting inspirational messages on social media alongside the hashtag #HawksView, sharing his results and keeping the haters at bay.

Circuit Dominance

With 87 career WSOP Circuit cashes for a total of $1,668,698 in earnings, the West Palm Beach, Florida resident has been a dominant force on the Circuit for more than a decade. His first ring win came in December 2008 in a $560 buy-in NLH event at Harrah's Atlantic City, and he never looked back. In 2016, Hawkins won four rings, including capturing three of his four main event titles to date.

Vornicu had been sitting as the lone top ring winner since May 2018 went he won two events to go from 10 to 12 rings. Hawkins added No. 11 later that month, taking down the $2,200 High Roller at Harrah's New Orleans, and after nearly a year-long ring drought for both players, they're now tied.

In the time between Circuit wins, Hawkins won his first Heartland Poker Tour title for $113K in August and finished second to Isaac Haxton in the $10,500 Short Deck event at the Poker Masters in September for $115,500.

He's been heating up on the Circuit of late too, reaching the final table in seven out of 11 WSOP-C events he's played over the past couple months. One of those resulted in a third-place finish in the Tulsa Hard Rock Circuit Main Event just a few weeks back, where he won Casino Champ for the stop.

The grind is real , my game is evolving and there’s no PLAN B.#Hawksview https://t.co/cVEMYcL4fL

In Monday's win, he returned third of 27 but went into the final table with average chips, before he found a way to close it out.

'It’s all about positivity and good flow of things going the right way.”

“I ran exceptionally well in every spot. And I played really well,' Hawkins told Circuit reporters after the win. 'I got a lot of third and fourth in the last couple of months. It feels great to finally get back to the winner’s circle. I don’t look at myself as a third-place finisher in any tournament.”

His hawk's view and evolving game seem to be paying off, and it seems only a matter of time before the animated and ambitious poker pro digs up more gold.

Wsop Circuit 2018 2019 Calendar

// News, Poker Tournaments

The 2018 World Series of Poker begins this week (live satellites on Tuesday, actual events on Wednesday), so naturally the focus of the poker world will be on the Rio in Las Vegas for the next couple months. But not everyone can take the time to travel to Vegas for the WSOP or afford the hefty buy-ins, so the WSOP Circuit is more up their alley. To that end, the World Series of Poker has released the schedule for the 2018-2019 WSOP Circuit season.

The 2018-2019 season will be the biggest ever for the Circuit, with 28 stops spanning this August to next May. The season won’t technically end until some time after that (date is TBA) with the Global Casino Championship. This year’s Global Casino Championship is scheduled for August, after the WSOP, but we will still need to wait for the date of next year’s event.

There are no new casinos on the 2018-2019 WSOP Circuit, though one, Horseshoe Baltimore, has been removed from the schedule. A number of casinos will host two tour stops, including Harrah’s Cherokee in North Carolina, where the season kicks off, and Horseshoe Hammond and Horseshoe Tunica, which only had one stop last year.

The WSOP has implemented a few changes to this year’s Circuit events, as well. The buy-ins have been “polished,” as the WSOP puts it, in an effort to increase prize pools and make the cash-out process smoother. The “primary” price points will be $250, $400, and $600; $400 is the new price for ring events, up from $365. Main Events at each stop are now $1,700.

Starting stacks have been increased by 50 percent for ring events. Players will begin with 15,000 chips in the $400 events and 30,000 chips in the $1,700 Main Events.

And for the first time, some ring events on the 2018-2019 WSOP Circuit will be Big Blind Ante tournaments. This game type was tested on last year’s Circuit and apparently worked well enough for Big Blind Ante events to be added to the WSOP proper this year. In this game, rather than having each player pony up an ante once the tournament reaches that stage, the player in the big blind will pay everybody’s ante. It is a way to speed things up, as it will virtually eliminate instances of players forgetting to pay the ante and dealers won’t have to keep track of as much.

“For our fifteenth season, the time was right to take a hard look at our offering and refreshing it to give players a better experience all around,” said WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel in a press release. “Everyone loves more starting chips, and we think things like the Big Blind Ante and larger prize pools will be big hits for all players.”

As mentioned, the date for the Global Casino Championship has yet to be announced. This event is invitation-only and will have a minimum prize pool of $1 million. To qualify to the tournament, players must do one of three things:

1) Win a Circuit Main Event
2) Win a “casino championship,” determined by the player who earns the most tournament points in ring events at a single Circuit stop
3) Rank in the top 50 total points earners for the entire 2018-2019 WSOP Circuit season

Those players will earn free seats into the Global Casino Championship. Everyone who wins a ring event but does not qualify for a free seat can buy-in for $10,000, as can the top 100 players in the 2018 World Series of Poker Player of the Year standings. In years past, the WSOP Circuit has extended the freeroll qualifiers past the top 50 if players in the top 50 also qualify via one of the other methods. Thus, if a Main Event winner is also in the top 50, the free invites are extended to the top 51.
