The World Series of Poker (WSOP) recently wrapped up its Caesars Atlantic City Online Circuit, which catered to players in Nevada and New Jersey. The 12-event series guaranteed more than $1 million in guarantees, and after nearly two weeks of action, they wound up paying out $1,788,619 in prize money as a combined 4,118 entrants competed.

Among those to win rings during the series were Daniel "juice" Buzgon, who won another ring for the fourth month in a row, Stanley "stanman420" Lee, Frank "thewholefunk" Funaro, Anthony "flawlessbink" Maio, and Daniel "stayactive" Chan.

All those who captured gold rings are now eligible for the year-end $250K GTD WSOP Online Circuit Championship. There are multiple ways a player can become eligible for that event:

  • Win a WSOP Gold Ring Event during the 2021 season
  • Win a $10,000 Player of the Month Leaderboard
  • Win a Second Chance Fast Forward Be one of the top 50 players on the Cumulative Circuit Leaderboard who are not otherwise eligible (50)

The series culminated with the $525 buy-in Event #10: $250,000 GTD Main Event, which attracted 420 players who rebought 242 times. The 662-entry field resulted in a $331,000 prize pool that was paid out to the top 100 finishers.

Among those to earn a payday was Tim ��unorth0dox�� Reilly (14th - $3,211), Katie ��Katelin�� Lindsay (21st - $2,019), Tony ��Panoramic�� Dunst (36th - $1,589), Krista ��Pollux�� Gifford (52nd - $1,225), Joe ��fanofdapoker�� McKeehen (60th - $1,225), and PokerNews Podcast��s very own Jeff ��mavsusc�� Platt (65th - $1,125), who was recently featured in our ��Hands of the Week�� article here.

It took 11.5 hours of play before Jonathan ��Art.Vandelay�� Dokler bested Matt ��Impervious�� Zoorob in heads-up play to win the title for $52,761.40 and a gold ring, the second of his career. It will surely compliment the gold bracelet he won last summer when he took down the WSOP.com Event #1: $500 NLH Kick-Off for $130,426.
