Event #2: $400 No-Limit Hold'em (4 Flights)

 
Harjinder Chawla, Winner of Event #2

Harjinder Chawla just won his first Circuit ring after defeating a four-figure field of 1,189 players in Event #2: $400 No-Limit Hold’em (4 Flights). He collects $65,823, his second biggest cash to date.

Although Chawla has multiple final tables on his poker resume, it is his first recorded victory.

“It was long due, I played a long time. I’m glad I was able to get it through today for the first time,” Chawla said after his win.

Chawla started the final day second in chips and never stopped building. He came into the final table with a massive lead and kept it all along. When asked about his run, Chawla stayed humble.

“I ran real pure. I got lucky. There was at least three or four hands hands with a lot of chips in preflop where I was behind. Like queens against aces and I flopped a queen. Fours against aces and I turned a four. I played decent but I made some errors which I recognize. I got lucky at least four to five times.”
