Event #2: $400 No-Limit Hold'em (Flight 1 of 4)

Alexander Hoff just claimed the first Circuit ring of his career after outlasting a field of 1,211 entrants. After cashing in this event on Day 1B, the poker professional couldn’t find a bag at the end of the night and decided to take another shot at glory by playing in another flight. He fired another bullet the next day, a decision that earned him the biggest cash of his career.

‘’I played flight B and cashed that and then busted 30 minutes before the end of the night and then last night I bagged the chip lead.’’

The stakes were high at the final table as multiple ring winners were part of it including four-time ring winner Marshall White, but that didn’t stop Hoff from taking it down. ‘’I felt pretty good coming into the final table I had a pretty good stack, I had 40 big blinds. I got lucky against Marshall for a big one, knocked him out. He was next to me for a lot of the tournament.’’

Hoff had an entire rail cheering for him including today’s Seniors Event champion, Steve Edmonds, who joined his rail right after collecting his winnings.

‘’It feels great. It’s my first big final table. It feels great and it’s fun because I had my whole crew here.’’

The poker professional will be taking home $62,074 along with his first WSOP Circuit ring.
