Daniel Lowery and Ari Engel each reached 21 career WSOP Circuit rings at Horseshoe Council Bluffs, according to the WSOP's September 28 report. Their wins came in different events, giving the stop two separate milestone results.
Two wins, two formats
- Lowery won Event #7, the $400 Big O event, with a listed prize of $8,607.
- Engel won Event #9, the $400 No-Limit Hold'em event, with a listed prize of $6,613.
The same report places Engel third in the Big O tournament before his own victory. WSOP says he defeated Theresa Morley heads-up in Event #9. These are Circuit ring titles, not World Series bracelet wins; the distinction matters when comparing career records.
DIP's view
The useful headline is the shared milestone, not a claim that either player now leads every all-time ranking. Two highly experienced players extended their records at the same stop, in different formats. For readers following the global circuit from the Philippines, that is a clearer story than simply repeating the festival schedule.
This brief does not report the Main Event winner's payout because the official article's narrative and final-table list show different amounts. We will not choose between conflicting figures without confirmation.

Enjoy the results without treating a champion's record as a promise of your own return. If you play, follow local eligibility rules, budget in advance and do not chase losses.
