Preston McEwan Wins Fifth Ring And Denies Maurice Hawkins #15
An eventful High Roller event is now in the books after an exciting Day 2.
Preston McEwan's incredible Cherokee WSOP circuit stop continued as he won Event #7: $2,200 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller Tuesday afternoon. He was able to finish the job this time as he came very close in Event #3 where he finished runner-up. He also has a 10th place finish in this stop so far.
This win gives McEwan his fifth ring in the span of just 13 months. A run of results that has rarely been seen on the circuit.
McEwan denied Maurice Hawkins what would have been a record 15th circuit ring as the circuit grinder legend was on the cusp of his first ring since January of 2020.
