WSOP CIRCUIT GOES TO PLANET HOLLYWOOD STARTING THURSDAY
Las Vegas, Nev. (November 12, 2014) – For the first time ever, the World Series of Poker Circuit is coming to the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

On the heels of the WSOP Main Event final table, which played out over the past two days nearby at the Rio, Planet Hollywood is keeping the poker action going by hosting the next stop on the Circuit. This is the first time the Circuit has come to Planet Hollywood. Previous stops in Las Vegas have been held at other properties, most recently at Caesars Palace last March. The Main Event at that stop attracted 697 players. Christian Pham outlasted them all, earning himself a payout of over $200,000.

Action at Planet Hollywood kicks off on Thursday with a multi-flight unlimited re-entry $365 no-limit hold’em event which boasts a $250,000 guaranteed prize pool. The first flight starts at 10 a.m., and flight B begins at 4 p.m. Then on Friday, there are two more starting flights, again scheduled at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The series culminates with the Main Event, a $1,675 no-limit hold’em tournament with a $1,000,000 guarantee. Day 1A of the Main begins at noon on Friday, November 21st, and Day 1B starts the next day. The final table is expected to conclude on Monday, November 24th.

Other highlights include a charity event sponsored by Jennifer Harman. It benefits the Nevada SPCA. Several celebrities from both the poker world and the entertainment world are scheduled to attend. The event is being held on Friday, November 14th. The red carpet is at 5 p.m., and the tournament is scheduled to begin at 6:30. The buy-in is $200, with $50/$100 rebuys/add-on.

There is also a dealer’s choice event on Tuesday, November 18th at 4:00. The buy-in is $365, and the games are no-limit hold’em, pot-limit Omaha, Omaha 8-or-better, seven-card stud, seven-card stud 8-or-better, razz, and 2-7 triple draw.
