Hawkins on Friday claimed a record-breaking 13th WSOPC gold ring after taking down Event #8: $400 NLH Monster Stack at WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Tunica. He eased his way to victory among the huge field of 432-entries and defeated Hamid Izadi heads-up to collect the winner’s paycheck worth $31,372.

This is Hawkins’ 22nd live title and with this win, his lifetime earnings tally has reached$3.73 Million! Though he is yet to wear the coveted WSOP bracelet, he now has the biggest collection of WSOPC gold rings on the planet!

Post his victory, Hawkins told WSOP officials, “I made a conscious effort to play better. And to be more focused, and to really value the opportunities and blessings that I have. I have the ability to play poker for a living, so I’ve been focusing on being a better person, on and off the felt, and it’s translating all over.”

Earlier in April, Hawkins had tweeted motivational quotes and seemed to be working hard.

He then shared his bucket list for the year.
