Manjunath Mulinti won his first World Series of Poker Circuit ring at Thunder Valley, taking down the main event after defeating a field of 599 entries. Mulinti collected $172,325 for the victory.

The triumph at WSOPC Thunder Valley also secured Mulinti a seat at WSOP Paradise in December. WSOP Paradise, held in Las Vegas, represents one of the circuit's most prestigious invitational events, reserved for ring winners from across the WSOP Circuit schedule.

The Thunder Valley main event drew substantial participation, indicating strong interest in the regional circuit stop. Mulinti's first ring represents a milestone achievement in his poker career, marking his entry into the exclusive club of WSOP Circuit champions. The December Paradise event provides ring winners the opportunity to compete against other successful circuit players in a high-profile setting.
