Ryan Eriquezzo has won the 2019 World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah’s Atlantic City $1,700 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event. The poker pro from Connecticut defeated a field of 357 total entries to win his fourth ring on the WSOP Circuit. He is also the proud owner of a WSOP gold bracelet, which he earned by taking down the 2012 WSOP National Championship. With this latest win, Eriquezzo increased his career live tournament earnings to just shy of $1.6 million.
In addition to the hardware and the money, Eriquezzo was awarded 600 Card Player Player of the Year points for the win. This was his first POY-qualified score of the year, but it alone was enough to see him move inside the top 200 in the overall standings.

Eriquezzo came into the third and final day of this event tied for fourth place in the standings, with Renata Colache holding the chip lead. Colache had her pocket kings cracked by Kurt Lichtman early at the final table. She lost a large chunk of her stack in that hand, and then came up on the wrong side of a preflop coinflip to finish in eighth place ($14,646).

Eriquezzo survived to short-handed play without scoring a knockout and then was able to take over the lead during four-handed action. Kurt Lichtman knocked out Richard Hanheide Jr. in fourth place ($41,613), but then found himself as the next player heading to the rail. He called Eriquezzo’s shove from the small blind with 77. Eriquezzo showed the Q9. The board ran out A94210 and Lichtman was eliminated in third place ($56,103).
With that Eriquezzo took more than a 3-to-1 chip lead into heads up play against Denis Gnidash. The shorter stack found a quick double up with pocket kings to event things out a bit, but Eriquezzo was able to regain control right away.
In the final hand Eriquezzo min-raised to 120,000 from the button with 87 and Gnidash called with the 109. The flop brought the 965 and Gnidash checked. Eriquezzo bet 160,000. Gnidash shoved for 1,970,000 with his top pair, only to be snap-called by Eriquezzo’s nut straight. The 3 on the turn left Gnidash drawing dead and the 8 sealed the deal. Gnidash earned $76,904 as the runner-up.
