Nick Mandyam Wins Event 2 at Choctaw for $9,574
Nick Mandyam is the winner of Event #2: $250 No-Limit Hold’em at the Choctaw World Series of Poker Circuit event. The recreational player from Lewisville, Texas took home $19,344 for his biggest live cash.
This is Mandyam’s first ever Circuit ring, along with being his first live tournament win.
Coming into the final table, Mandyam came in around the middle of the pack and outlasted the start-of-final table chip leaders.
Eventually, the newly-crowned winner went head-to-head with Benjamin Thompson, who actually started the final table as the shortest stack.
In addition to this win, Mandyam has now qualified for the 2023/2024 Tournament of Champions for a shot at a piece of the $1 million prize pool and a gold bracelet.
Mandyam declined to take a photo.
