12 gold ring events run October 2-13; two National Championship berths up for grabs.
Elizabeth, Ind. (September 29, 2014) — The Horseshoe Casino in Elizabeth, Ind. hosts the World Series of Poker Circuit beginning this Thursday, October 2 and running through Monday, October 13. In that time, 12 gold ring events including the $1,675 Main Event take place with two berths to the season-ending National Championship being awarded.
Opening weekend of the 12-day series kicks off with a $365 buy-in re-entry event. The tournament features two starting flights beginning Friday and Saturday at 12 p.m. and permits unlimited re-entry through the dinner break. Previous similarly structured events at the Horseshoe drew upwards of 700 entries and saw the winner transform their $300 buy-in into more than $40,000.
The series headliner is $1,675 Main Event which begins Friday, October 10. Like the re-entry opener, the finale features two starting flights beginning on consecutive days at 12 p.m. Players are allowed a total of two entries into the event that can be used in any combination of Flights A and B — that is, A-A, B-B, or A-B.
