An unfortunate hand for Kumar with Q-4 against Persky\u2019s A-K led to his exit in third place.<\/p>\n<p>Heads-up play was intense, with Persky and Danny Sarasin, from Petaluma, starting on an even footing. \u201cI\u2019ve known Danny a really long time so it was kind of crazy to be playing against him,\u201d Persky commented on the tense final.

With Sarasin coming in second and earning $100,528, it marked the highest cash win of his career.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Table Results<\/h2>\n<table width=\"275\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\">Result<\/td>\n<td width=\"147\">Player<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">Prize<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\">1<\/td>\n<td width=\"147\">Michael Persky<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">$175,595<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\">2<\/td>\n<td width=\"147\">Dan Sarasin<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">$100,528<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\">3<\/td>\n<td width=\"147\">Jasthi Kumar<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">$80,315<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\">4<\/td>\n<td width=\"147\">Ben Underwood<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">$60,122<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\">5<\/td>\n<td width=\"147\">Paul Vlahos<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">$45,532<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\">6<\/td>\n<td width=\"147\">Zhengxiong Zouxu<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">$34,890<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\">7<\/td>\n<td width=\"147\">Kurt Watkins<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">$27,055<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\">8<\/td>\n<td width=\"147\">Avenes Rastomyan<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">$21,233<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\">9<\/td>\n<td width=\"147\">Ben Ludlow<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\">$16,868<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/poker-news\/michael-persky-wins-175595-at-graton-casino-resorts-world-series-of-poker-circuit-main-event\/\">Michael Persky Wins $175,595 at Graton Casino &#038; Resort\u2019s World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Persky from Novato, California has won the Graton Casino &#038; Resort\u2019s World Series of Poker Circuit main event.
