Zachary VanKeuren claims fourth WSOP Circuit title in dominant Turning Stone win
Zachary VanKeuren has claimed victory at the WSOPC Turning Stone Main Event, securing his fourth WSOP Circuit title. The win on April 15, 2025, earned him $267,437 and a $5,000 package for WSOP Paradise in The Bahamas. His success continues a strong run in U.S. poker over the past four years. VanKeuren's journey in poker began at Turning Stone Casino, where he first played at just 18 years old. Since then, he has built an impressive record, including an online WSOP bracelet and the WPT Prime Championship in 2024. His dominance in this tournament became clear early, as he held over half the chips with seven players still in contention.
Key moments defined his path to victory. He won a crucial flip against Marisa Hancock in eighth place, extending his lead. Later, he took control by defeating Zexiang Sun in a pivotal hand with pocket nines. Meanwhile, Adam Kurnitz eliminated Charbel Boujaoude and Autumn Hayes in fifth and fourth place, respectively. The final showdown came against Kurnitz, with VanKeuren sealing the win on the turn. This latest triumph adds to his collection of three previous WSOP Circuit Main Event titles, won in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
VanKeuren's victory at Turning Stone marks another milestone in his rising poker career. The $267,437 prize and entry to WSOP Paradise further solidify his reputation as a formidable competitor. His consistent performance in major tournaments suggests he will remain a key figure in the game.
