Thus, Justin Arnwine won the first WSOP Circuit ring of his career by overcoming a field of 953 entries. With the victory, the American received US$ 77,485 and confirmed his good form after a consistent campaign during this summer’s WSOP in the United States.
However, Arnwine had already come close to winning a bracelet by reaching the decisive stages of the US$ 1,500 Six Max at the WSOP. On that occasion, he commented on the importance of achieving this goal. “It would be something very big. It’s one of the only achievements I still lack,” he told “Poker.org” during the series.
Nevertheless, the player also attributed part of his good phase to the birth of his first child. “I think it’s psychological. When you really want to go home and be with your family, you end up taking advantage of every opportunity at the table,” the American explained in the same interview when talking about his motivation during tournaments.
