VeryMerry Captures WSOP Winter Circuit Main Event Title ($1.18M)

The WSOP Winter Circuit concluded at GGPoker on January 9 with the $1,700 buy-in Main Event crowning its champion. The Main Event attracted 7,039 entrants, which resulted in an $11,367,985 prize pool, over 10 percent more than the advertised $10 million guarantee. Mexico's "VeryMerry" was the last player standing once the dust had settled. Their reward for such an impressive victory? A cool $1,184,690 and a WSOP Circuit ring.

Some 862 players navigated their way through to the final day, each locking in at least $3,773 for their efforts.
