Daniel Lowery is back alongside Ari Engel in the chase for all-time World Series of Poker Circuit rings after a 20th title in the Seniors event at WSOPC Tulsa on Sunday. 

The two players are still looking up at Maurice Hawkins, who added his 22nd and 23rd rings in a burst at WSOPC Tunica in February. Engel won his 20th in September of last year at WSOPC Council Bluffs, shortly before Lowery added his 19th in Lake Tahoe in October. 

The unstoppable Senior

Lowery beat a field of 480 entries for take home pay of $21,789 which puts him right on the edge of $4 million in lifetime Hendon Mob earnings. This is also Lowery's third Seniors title at the Tulsa stop in as many attempts as an eligible player. He won both Seniors events for back-to-back rings at Tulsa's March edition in 2025.

Meanwhile, there are still a lot of rings left to be won as the 2026 tour leads to the summer series in Las Vegas. While the WSOPC Hammond stop is wrapping up its Main Event on Monday just outside of Chicago, WSOPC Tulsa is in the last stretch of side events before this weekend's flagship $1,700 finale with two opening flights that start on Friday, March 13. 

From Tulsa the Circuit heads to Upstate New York for a series at Turning Stone before a trip to Las Vegas from March 19 through March 30. The Vegas stop sets the table for stops at Grand Victory, Lake Tahoe, Tunica, Texas, Cherokee, Commerce, and New Orleans before the WSOP takes hold on May 26.
