East coast Circuit implements more flights and guaranteed prizepools.
Atlantic City, N.J. (March 6, 2018) -- The World Series of Poker
Circuit has already completed 18 of the 26 stops on the 2017-2018
schedule. The second, Los Angeles Circuit of the season is currently
running, and now, a simultaneous series is set to begin on the opposite
side of the country.
Thursday, March 8th, marks day one of the Harrah's Atlantic City Circuit, a long-standing location on the WSOPC tour. The first weekend features a fair amount of flights and some brand new guarantees.
Event #1: $365 No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry will complete a total of four starting flights, one more than last year. Also, attached to the tournament is a $150,000 guaranteed prizepool. Event #2: $365 No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack Re-Entry breaks down to two starting flights, which will begin on Saturday, March 10th, and has a $75,000 prizepool.
There will be 12 gold ring events all together, including the $1,675 Main Event that commences Friday, March 16th. The Main Event features a $400,000 guaranteed prizepool and will conclude Monday, March 19th, bringing the Harrah's Atlantic City Circuit to a close.
Last season, Abraham Korotki topped the Harrah's Atlantic City Circuit Main Event. The Delaware resident beat out 341 entrants, which granted him a second WSOP gold ring and $117,345 payday.
The winner of the Main
Event and the Casino Champion will earn a seat to the 2018 Global Casino
Campionship. There they will compete for a minimum $1 million
prizepool, as well as a coveted gold bracelet. To become the Casino
Champion a player must earn the most points at a given Circuit stop. Players
earn points based on how well they finish in a tournament. More
information on the Global Casino Championship leaderboard can be found
on WSOP.com.
