Engel in the House
Ari Engel has recently taken his seat in the first flight of the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Philadelphia Main Event.
Engel has established himself as a staple of the WSOP Circuit. He's a five-time ring holder and two of those rings were earned in this past season. The first of these accomplishments came during the WSOPC Hammond back in October when Engel took down the $1,125 No-Limit Hold'em event. Then, just a few months back, Engel once again saw victory in a $580 No-Limit Hold'em event at the WSOPC Palm Beach Kennel Club.
Engel currently sits in second place on the National Leaderboard with 235 points. Engel is only bested by fellow circuit grinder Rex Clinkscales. With over $115,000 in tournament winnings this year on the circuit, its clear that Engel will be a force to be reckoned with in today's tournament.
