Dan Lowery and Angela Jordison seem to always be in contention at the poker table, whether it’s at the World Series for Poker Circuit events or on the Major Series of Poker Tour. Here’s a warning if you ever find yourself in an event with either of these players: Be ready for a battle.
Lowery with 18th WSOPC Ring
It doesn’t get much better than the way Dan Lowery is doing things. The Arkansas father of four is traveling the country in an RV with his dogs collecting rings like he was Sonic the Hedgehog.
Lowery, 50, won his second World Series of Poker Circuit ring in March at Hard Rock Tulsa last week, locking himself into tie in second-place on the all-time ring tally list with Maurice Hawkins. Both men are one behind Ari Engel’s 19.
It’s his third WSOPC ring of the 2024/24 season. All three of them were won in $250 Senior events — two came at Hard Rock Tulsa, the third at Choctaw Durant in November.
His goal is to get to 20 rings before Hawkins or Engel.
“It means I’m two away from my goal,” Lowery told the WSOP about what his 18th Circuit ring meant to him. “We’re not done, we have to get 20. Ari’s jumped out ahead of us, so I’ll try to get 20 first.”
His latest win came in an event that attracted 399 entries. Lowery won $15,831, the largest chunk of the $79,836 prize pool.
This is the first WSOPC season that Lowery is eligible to enter the events set aside for players 50 and older.
“So I guess I’m retired” Lowery joked. “I’ll just travel the country in an RV with my dogs and travel the seniors circuit.”
Sounds good to us.

Jordison’s studying paying off
Angela Jordison won her second Major Series of Poker Tour (MSPT) event of 2025 in Iowa last week, pushing her lifetime tournament winnings closer the $2 million threshold. She won $95,381 for outlasting a field of 513 entries in the $1,110 headliner event at Grand Falls Casino.
She started the final table last in chips, but credits the time away from the felt spent studying for her comeback victory.
“To come in short, it’s really something I’ve been working so much on lately, the ICM chops and these short stack situations really came into play here and it really helped me out,” she said. “All that prep that I do off the felt, the stuff that seems to be really boring or worthless, really came in clutch here.”
Her first victory on the MSPT trail in 2025 came in a $200 event at the MSPT 100 Grand Stack Festival in Milwaukee in February, when the tour was known as the Mid-Stakes Poker Tour. It rebranded last week.
Jordison has her eyes on getting into the MSPT’s Hall of Fame. She’s already won $463,714 in its events.
