Las Vegas, Nevada (October 14, 2025) - After three Day One flights, thousands of hands, and an exciting final table, Horseshoe Baltimore has a new WSOP Circuit Main Event champion.

Playing his way through a field of 332 total entrants, Baltimore-native Aaron Pinson stands alone as the newest WSOP Circuit Main Event champion, claiming the title in his hometown and walking away with the $102,668 top prize.

Already a memorable series for Pinson, having won the first event of the series for $16,058 and his first career WSOP Circuit ring, the local poker player would win ring #2 in style by winning the series’ WSOP Circuit Main Event.

Locking up free entry to the WSOP Circuit Championship No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty and a package to attend WSOP Paradise 2025, by winning the Horseshoe Baltimore WSOP Circuit Main Event, Pinson also receives entry to the $26,000 WSOP Super Main Event at WSOP Paradise, offering a record-breaking $60 million prize pool guarantee.
