Abraham Araya may request that all poker tournaments be played out of the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma.
For the second time in a little over three months, Araya has picked up a title in Choctaw. After winning the TJ Cloutier Challenge back in October, Araya (2011 PTPR Rank: 836th) won the World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Durant Main Event last night.
Almost 1,000 players entered the three day event in what's becoming a hot event on the poker circuit. Araya defeated Daniel Lowery (2011 PTPR Rank: 1484th) in what was a relatively quick heads up encounter.
Ninth place finisher Dejuante Alexander (2011 PTPR Rank: 1156th) earned 14 PTPR Points for his effort.
