Ian "potamophobia" Matakis battled his way through
669 entries to win his first World Series of Poker Circuit Ring in
Event #12: $800 Pot Limit Omaha Championship. The guarantee for this event was set at $250,000, but they more than doubled that with the 335 unique entries and 334 rebuys putting $508,440 into the prize pool.
While this is Matakis' first win, he's no stranger to online poker glory. He has more than $1 million in online cashes, with almost $900,000 of that from the GGPoker network. This score looks to be his second-biggest online score after a $330,467 2nd place finish in
High Rollers Super MILLION$ $10K, $20M GTD [2-day event] in June of 2020.
