Justin Arnwine Wins His First WSOP Circuit Ring

American player Justin Arnwine became the winner of the $600 Monster Stack at Horseshoe Las Vegas. The tournament drew 953 entrants, and the first-place prize was $77,485. The WSOP Circuit stop was integrated into the schedule during the break in the Main Event.

Arnwine began the final day among the 48 contenders for the ring. In the heads-up he beat Andrew Bevernitz, who received $51,710 for second place. Third place went to Abishek Pal with a payout of $36,990.

For Arnwine this is his first career WSOP Circuit ring. His Hendon Mob profile lists more than 140 recorded in-the-money finishes, and his total winnings exceed $2,000,000. Earlier this summer, Arnwine came up just short of the final table of the WSOP $1,500 Six Max.

The player recently became a father and attributes his progress to a change in mindset:

"I think it's a psychological thing. If you really want to get home to your family, to be near your child, then you use absolutely every single spot. If you take a risk and win — great. You lose — that opens up the other side of the coin: you finally get to go home to your family"

The WSOP Circuit series in Las Vegas will continue until July 25.
