May Mor

The WSOP Circuit Ring is one of the most recognized symbols of competitive poker achievement outside of a WSOP bracelet itself. Winning one means surviving a multi-day tournament against hundreds of competitors, navigating the late-stage pressure where most players collapse, and outlasting a final table where every decision is amplified by the camera and the chips.

May's ring came in the Ladies Event - a tournament with its own significance in a sport where women still represent under 10% of professional revenue. The win was not luck. It was the result of years of structured preparation: tracking every hand of her own play in what would eventually become LeakHunter, identifying and correcting her own leaks before they cost her at the final table, and developing the identity-first decision-making framework that she now uses to coach other players.

The full long-form story of the ring win - Day 1 through final table, the hands that mattered, the mental work that held - is being written as a dedicated blog post. What it taught her: winning a tournament is downstream of who you are at the table. The data, the strategy, the bankroll all matter. But identity - what kind of player you actually are, and whether you trust yourself in the moment - matters more.

The ring became the inflection point. After it, May built out the coaching practice formally and put the methodology that produced her own win into a structured 5-session framework that other players could use. Coaching by May exists because of the ring, and because of the years of self-coaching that preceded it.
