Rafay Asrar, Winner of Event #13
Rafay Asrar took down the final event of the series after defeating 137 competitors in Event #13: $250 No-Limit Hold’em. Asrar got his first WSOP Circuit cash yesterday after getting 18th in the Main Event and he decided to take another shot at glory after his deep run.
“It was a long grind specially after the Main Event yesterday but I’m glad I came out and I’m glad it all worked out. A lot of people congratulated me for my finish in the Main but obviously when you get that far you kind of want to win the whole thing specially when you get down to the final two tables. I thought I’ve been playing well, and I knew this is the last event here so I just thought I’d give it another go.”
Asrar is a full-time attorney and only plays poker recreationally. However, he’s been around the game long enough competing with champions, and he himself became a champion tonight.
“I follow the Circuit from time to time. Usually I’m too busy with work to travel but poker is something I’ve been passionate about for a while. I started playing poker competitively four or five years ago. I play a decent amount of cash. I started out playing tournaments but I only like playing tournaments when it’s larger events like WSOP Circuit events.”
The pressure was high at the final table as the three players who were leading for the Casino Champion title, Howard Mash Scott Roberts, and Zachary Mullennix all made it to the final table of the last event. Scott Roberts managed to outlast Mash and Mullennix, securing the Casino Champion title, but he fell one spot short from another ring this stop as Asrar defeated him heads-up. Asrar takes home $7,256 for his win.Monday, September 30, 2019 7:32 PM Local Time
