The latest title adds to an already unmatched record and keeps him firmly at the top of the WSOPC leaderboard
Maurice Hawkins added another milestone to his already historic résumé, capturing his 24th World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) ring over the weekend. The win came in a $400 Double Stack event held near Chicago, where he earned just over $17,000. With the victory, Hawkins continues to widen the gap between himself and the rest of the field in the all-time standings.
The latest result puts Hawkins four rings ahead of both Ari Engel and Daniel Lowery, who remain his closest challengers. His consistency on the Circuit has made him one of the most recognizable names on the tour, regularly finding deep runs in events with large fields and competitive structures.
This marks Hawkins’ second strong stretch of results in recent months. Earlier this year, he picked up his 23rd ring during a series in Tunica, where he won two events in quick succession. That run included a themed celebration tied to his 23rd title, showing his flair for the spotlight along with his results on the felt.
Following his latest win, Hawkins took to social media to share his thoughts, pointing to his long-term approach and confidence in his edge. He emphasized that his success is built over time rather than short bursts, reinforcing the mindset that has helped him stay ahead in the Circuit rankings.
The reaction from the poker community was mixed. Dan Jungleman Cates responded critically, referencing past controversies. Hawkins fired back, continuing a back-and-forth that drew attention online.
