WEST PALM BEACH CIRCUIT PREVIEW

The Palm Beach Kennel Club Circuit series begins Thursday with the Monster Stack event.

West Palm Beach, Fla. (November 8, 2016) -- The World Series of Poker Circuit is heading cross country. The seventh series of the season just wrapped up in Lake Tahoe with Michael Pearson winning the Main Event. He defeated a 475-player field to bank $153,191 and his first gold ring.

The eighth series begins Thursday in West Palm Beach, Florida at the Palm Beach Kennel Club. This is the first of two stops in West Palm Beach for the WSOPC. The Kennel Club will hold their second series of the season in mid February. This upcoming series features 12 gold ring events, including the $1,675 Main Event, which will award the winner a free entry into the 2017 Global Casino Championship.

The series gets off to a roaring start. The first event is a $365 no-limit hold'em monster stack event, which features double starting stacks for the players. The monster stack event is followed up by a $365 no-limit hold'em unlimited re-entry event. The re-entry event will feature four starting flights and one of the biggest prizepools of the series.

Players earn points for every time they cash in an official open gold ring event. (Seniors events and ladies events are excluded because they are not open to everyone). The better the finish, the more points the player will earn. The player with the most points at the end of the series will earn a free seat into the 2017 Global Casino Championship. More information on the $1 million tournament and the points system can be found here.

If you've ever watched the World Series of Poker and thought that could be me, you're not alone. Since 1970, the WSOP has been the place where that dream lives. Most people know the summer series in Las Vegas, where the $10,000 Main Event turns ordinary players into legends. But the WSOP calendar has grown well beyond that. WSOP Europe and WSOP Paradise now bring bracelet competition to international destinations, and dozens of Circuit events run year-round for players who want serious competition closer to home. Whether you're grinding a Circuit stop or taking your shot at the Main Event, the hardware means something. Winning a gold bracelet or Circuit ring is more than just a trophy. It's a permanent record that you are a champion. For players in Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, WSOP Online has become something worth paying attention to. It's the only platform in the US where you can win a poker tournament for official WSOP gold bracelets without leaving home! The WSOP also offers deposit limits and self-exclusion tools because the best poker rooms have always known that keeping poker players healthy keeps the game healthy. From your first Circuit event to a final table in Las Vegas, WSOP is still where you go to prove something.
