The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit Harrah's Cherokee came to a close over the weekend, with just two more stops left in the 2024/2025 season of the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC), though stops for after the 2025 WSOP are expected to be announced soon.

The latest twelve-day festival awarded another 18 gold WSOPC gold rings and $6,804,905 in prizes.

Among the festival's winners was Matthew Higgins, who won his eighth ring in the $400 Mini-Main No-Limit Hold'em. The event attracted a huge field of 3,403 entries, the biggest of the festival.

Other highlights included Gregory Secord winning his first ring at the festival having never cashed in a live event before the WSOP Circuit Harrah's Cherokee kicked off and Michael Esquivel winning two events, earning himself rings number two and three.

Main Event Winner: "Finally, I'm Rich"

The WSOP Circuit Harrah's Cherokee $1,700 Main Event attracted 1,224 entries. This turnout was a bit lower than the 1,710 players who entered the last edition of the festival.

This turnout was still high enough to put $1,854,360 in the prize pool and $287,230 up top, and this time around no one started flipping tables when the tourney got short handed.

The $287,230 first-place prize would be a substantial coup for any player, but for someone who had only ever played one other event, it was an absolute windfall.

According to WSOP.com, when he realized he had won, Tuyen Dieu said, “I’m a champion now. Here we go, I’m rich! Finally, I’m rich!”

To win, Dieu had to outlast the massive field and overcome significant odds.

Starting the final table seventh in chips, Dieu had to take several established pros, eventually beating Toby Boas heads up.

The tournament ended spectacularly when Dieu caught an ace on the turn to turn his pocket aces into a full house against Boas's trip tens.

The pair shook hands, and Boas headed to the cashier to pick up his $191,474 for second place.

Season Wrap Up And Tournament of Champions

It's almost time for the switch from the 2024/2025 season of the WSOPC to the 2025/2026 season, which starts at the end of this month.

There are just two more festivals left to play out, the WSOP Circuit Commerce Casino and the WSOP Circuit Caesars Southern Indiana. Both events kicked off on May 8, with the former running until May 24. The latter ends a little earlier, wrapping up on May 19.

The Commerce will be hosting the 2024/2025 Tournament of Champions, a $1 million freeroll event to which every ring winner this season is invited.

Invites will also go out to all the 2024 bracelet winners (online as well as live) and anyone who won an event at the 2024 WSOP Europe, 2024 WSOP Paradise, or who won an online WSOPC ring or WSOP bracelet.
