BIKE CIRCUIT STOP KICKS OFF SATURDAY MORNING

California's final Circuit stop will have ring events running from Saturday, March 3 through Wednesday, March 14

Bell Gardens, CA (March 2, 2018) -With the Circuit season entering the home stretch of its 10-month long season, it kicks off the final stop in California on Saturday.

The 12-day series with 12 ring events gets underway at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles with a $365 no-limit hold’em event on Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m.

It is a two-day event with a $75,000 guaranteed prizepool and serves as the warmup for the first massive field of the series - the $365 no-limit hold’em monster stack event. The monster stack is a four-day event with two starting flights per day on Sunday and Monday. It also features a Day 2 buy-in with registration open for the first two levels of the second day.

After the monster stack concludes, there is a slew of no-limit hold’em events with buy-ins ranging from $365 all the way to the $3,250 no-limit hold’em high roller events. The only non-hold’em events are on Wednesday, March 7, with a $365 Omaha Hi-Lo event, and a $580 pot-limit Omaha on Tuesday, March 13. There is a $365 no-limit hold’em six-max event on Friday, March 9 and the series concludes with a single day, $580 no-limit hold’em turbo event on Wednesday, March 14.

The Circuit’s staple event, the $1,675 no-limit hold’em main event, gets cards in the air on Saturday, March 10, at noon with the first of two starting flights. The second starting flight gets moving on Sunday and it will crown a champion on Tuesday evening.

Like every Circuit stop, the winner of the main event and the winner of the Casino Championship title will get a seat into the 2018 Global Casino Championship. The Casino Champion will be the player who accumulates the most points throughout the 12 ring events.

Last year, Dylan Wilkerson defeated a 705-entry field, to win the Bicycle Casino main event, his first ring, a seat into the Global Casino Championship and $216,790.
