Hamid Izadi’s recent results on the WSOP Circuit include multiple main event titles and a rapid rise in earnings. He won the WSOP Circuit main event at Harrah’s Pompano Beach in early 2024, multiplying his best tour cash by more than 12 times, and later added another main event title in Southern Indiana in September 2025. In May 2026, he won the $1,700 WSOP Circuit main event at Harrah’s Cherokee for $332,405, his first Circuit win at his Atlanta home-casino area and his first ring at Cherokee. The win came two weeks after a Major Series of Poker: The Tour main event victory in Wisconsin. His earnings neared $3 million and he accumulated 960 Card Player Player of the Year points, placing him 40th overall.
"He took down the $1,700 buy-in main event at Harrah's Cherokee on May 18, 2026 for a career-best score of $332,405. It's Izadi's first ever WSOP Circuit win at his de facto hometown casino, as he hails from Atlanta. It also comes just two weeks after another major result for Izadi: he took down the Major Series of Poker: The Tour main event at MSPT Festival Wisconsin, worth $219,654."
"After adding 960 POY points to his total with his WSOPC Cherokee main event win, Izadi's total for the year now sits at 2,230 points. That's good enough for 40th place overall, just ahead of players like Chris Hunichen (44th) and defending POY winner Jesse Lonis (45th) in the standings."
""This was very important to me. Even though I won the main event before, Cherokee was always important for me," Izadi told Poker.Org's Ryan Lashmar shortly after his victory. "First of all, it's my home casino, my backyard. Second, it's the largest stop on the circuit. Third, I've never won a ring here. I've won rings everywhere else, but not in Cherokee. This feels great. I'm amazingly happy.""
