WSOP CIRCUIT CROWNS NEW PAIR OF MAIN EVENT CHAMPIONS
Las Vegas, Nevada (April 28, 2026) - Yesterday, on the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit, two new WSOP Circuit Main Event champions were crowned at the Horseshoe in Tunica, Mississippi, and Caesars Republic in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
While both tournaments were won in different parts of the country, the prestige and future potential remain all the same, as both players not only received a shiny, new WSOP Circuit ring, but a round-trip to compete at WSOP Paradise 2026 at Baha Mar Resort in The Bahamas.
Nestled along Lake Tahoe in the Silver State, at Caesars Republic, Portland-based poker player Adam Nattress claimed his first WSOP Circuit Main Event title and second WSOP Circuit ring in the $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event, earning a career best $139,614 for his efforts.
Horseshoe Tunica WSOP Circuit Main Event Final Table Results:
1st place: Adam Nattress - $139,614
2nd place: Ryan Hart - $92,123
3rd place: James Czarnecki - $62,216
4th place: Vanna Tea - $43,024
5th place: Bradley Miller - $30,482
6th place: Moshe Gavrieli - $22,140
7th place: Rayo Kniep - $16,495
8th place: Kyle Grosshanten - $12,616
9th place: Vy Nguyen - $9,911
Before winning his first WSOP Circuit Main Event title, Nattress’ first WSOP Circuit ring came in a Big O event at Graton Resort & Casino in 2025.
Down south at the Horseshoe Tunica, WSOP Circuit grinder Preston McEwen crossed a major milestone, winning the Tunica WSOP Circuit Main Event to receive the $105,270 top prize and his tenth WSOP Circuit ring.
One of only a few poker players to cross double-digits in WSOP Circuit event wins, it only seemed fitting that McEwen would win number 10 at the Tunica Horseshoe, as it was where he won his first WSOP Circuit ring in 2018.
