The World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Durant $1,700 Main Event is just one of a dozen gold ring events at the stop.

For more than a week, a slew of side events has been playing out including Event #8: $400 NLH 8-Handed One-Day, a tournament that attracted 167 runners and created a $55,110 prize pool. Just one year after learning to play poker, 38-year-old cell phone repairman Imran Sabzali, originally from Pakistan but now residing in Karalhi, Texas, captured a gold ring and $14,129 top prize.

“I was looking for a way to make easy money,” Sabzali said after the win. Not only did he emerge victorious, he had to go through two-time ring winner Paul Sokoloff to do it. Sabzali had a 2:1 Chip lead and wasn’t afraid to move in preflop.

Eventually Sabzali shoved with king-three and Sokoloff woke up with pocket queens. Sabzali rivered three of a king and just like that Sokoloff was denied his third piece of WSOP Circuit hardware.
