Blair Hinkle goes for a fourth Horseshoe Council Bluffs Circuit Main Event title.

Council Bluffs, Iowa (April 7, 2019) — The Horseshoe Council Bluffs Circuit is five eliminations away from concluding. Six players will return Monday at noon for Day 3 and the conclusion of the tournament. Everyone returning tomorrow is guaranteed a payout of at least $18,769, but all will have their sights set on the top prize. The champion will earn $99,267, a WSOP Circuit ring and a free entry to the $1 Million Guaranteed Global Casino Championship.

Returning for Day 3 fourth in chips is the most successful WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Council Bluffs Circuit player of all-time. Blair Hinkle has dominated the Horseshoe Council Bluffs WSOP Circuit stop like no one has ever done before at any Circuit property. Hinkle is a five-time WSOP Circuit ring winner, with four of those rings being won right here at Horseshoe Council Bluffs, and three of those four being Main Event titles. Hinkle won the Main Event here in 2010, 2013 and 2014. Not to mention, he also has a WSOP gold bracelet, which he won at the 2008 World Series of Poker. Hinkle will be shooting for a milestone that no one has ever achieved on the Circuit before and that is winning four Circuit Main Events at the same property.

Joining Hinkle at the final table and also shooting for a major milestone is Ari Engel. Engel will be starting Day 3 fifth chips. The milestone Engel will be chasing is the double-digit Circuit ring club. Engel has nine career WSOP Circuit rings and can earn his 10th Monday with a win. Engel is currently tied for fifth on the all-time Circuit rings list, but a win would give him that fifth spot all to his own and bring him within two rings of all-time leader Valentin Vornicu.
