Dan Lowery has won the World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Main Event which despite having won five Circuit rings previously, the main event title remained elusive, until now.
Lowrey outlasted a 908 entry field in the $1,675 no-limit hold’em main event to win $258,784 at Choctaw Casino and Resort in Durant, Oklahoma after defeating Walter Rodriguez heads-up.
“I’ve been in so many big spots and come up second three times,” Lowery said. “I felt pressure today that I’ve never felt. There’s been so many people saying ‘Oh, you’re going to get second again?’ and it just rings in my head. After a while it does get to you, I guess.”

1: Dan Lowery – $258,784
