3: Barrels of a live tournament flavour including a round up from the World Series of Poker Circuit in Harrah’s Cherokee, schedule details for the Wynn Poker Fall Classic, and a new poker tour from the Poker King Club in Asia.

World Poker Tour (WPT) Champions Club member, Harry Arutyunyan, has added a World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) gold ring to his trophy cabinet after taking down the $1,675 buy-in Main Event at Harrah’s Cherokee.

The Los Angeles based entrepreneur and part time poker player, topped a field of 1,022 entrants to capture the $283,597 first prize, the second largest win of his career, outside of the WPT Legends of Poker event he won in Season XIII that netted him over half a million bucks.

Arutyunyan came into the final day 2/19 in chips but managed to collect every single one of them by the day’s end. The 33-year-old becomes the first player to reserve a seat in the 2018 WSOP Global Championships, an event his good friend Sean Yu just tucked away for $300,000 at the same casino. Yu was standing on Arutyunyan’s rail like a faithful dog, as was Arutyunyan when Yu was taking down his bracelet.
