When discussing how the Cherokee Main Event went and when he knew he had a serious shot to win, Ingles exuded confidence. “I am going to take off from playing now for a while until the series in the summer” when discussing his near future poker plans.

“I am mainly a cash game player but I have been firing this tournaments for a long time and finally was able to close one out.” “I am 34 now, so I have been grinding for over half my life,” said Ingles after his win, reflecting upon the dedication he has given to poker from a young age. Ingles went deep with some tough players, including the likes of four-time WSOP Circuit champions John Gallaher (7 th - $50,236) and Marshall White (9 th - $31,634), WSOP bracelet winner Ryan D’Angelo (16 th - $16,905), WSOP Circuit Cherokee Main Event winner CJ Johnson (24 th - $11,653) and WSOP bracelet winner and three-time ring winner Ethan Yau (39 th - $5,421). This was Ingles’ biggest score since he made a deep run in the 2010 WSOP Main Event, finishing in 56 th place for $138,285. It was Louisiana’s Jared Ingles who took down the Main Event at Cherokee, earning $300,736 in prize money, a gold WSOP Circuit ring and a seat into the Tournament of Champions. The top four players earned six figures for life-changing money and record-breaking career scores.

The $1,700 Main Event attracted 1,213 entries across two starting flights and almost doubled the $1,000,000 guarantee for a prize pool of $1,837,695 paying out 182 spots. There were 16 gold rings up for grabs, with many familiar faces making deep runs and winning seats into the Tournament of Champions in July.
