Ryan Eriquezzo has won the 2019 World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah’s Atlantic City $1,700 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event. The poker pro from Connecticut defeated a field of 357 total entries to win his fourth ring on the WSOP Circuit. He is also the proud owner of a WSOP gold bracelet, which he earned by taking down the 2012 WSOP National Championship. With this latest win, Eriquezzo increased his career live tournament earnings to just shy of $1.6 million.

In addition to the hardware and the money, Eriquezzo was awarded 600 Card Player Player of the Year points for the win. This was his first POY-qualified score of the year, but it alone was enough to see him move inside the top 200 in the overall standings.

Eriquezzo came into the third and final day of this event tied for fourth place in the standings, with Renata Colache holding the chip lead. Colache had her pocket kings cracked by Kurt Lichtman early at the final table. She lost a large chunk of her stack in that hand, and then came up on the wrong side of a preflop coinflip to finish in eighth place ($14,646).
