'I originally came here to play cash but saw that the Main Event was going so I bought in on Day 1b in the 10th level and was down to about 10,000 but grinded it out and here I am, the Main Event Champion.'Įven though Schoonover wasn't playing for the money, he still had some plans on what to do with it. Schoonover, the proud president/CEO of Schoonover Oil, came to Choctaw to play some cash games but when he saw that the Main Event was going on, he couldn't help but partake in the prestigious event. 'I originally came here to play cash but saw that the Main Event was going so I bought in on Day 1b.' The victory marks Schoonover's first ring, one he feels very fortunate in achieving: 'I feels great man, you know I have plenty of money, that's not what I'm here for, I came here for the ring.' Dustin Schoonover was the latest Main Event champion of the 2019/2020 World Series of Poker Circuit season after he topped a field of 1,065 entries to walk away with the Choctaw Durant $1,700 Main Event title, a $272,846 top prize, and a seat into the 2020 Global Casino Championship.
