GRAND VICTORIA CIRCUIT PREVIEW

The Circuit returns to Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin, IL, between November 9 - 20, featuring 16 ring events and over $1,5 Million in guarantees.
Las Vegas, Nevada (November 7, 2023) - November is here, which means that it's time for some World Series of Poker action for the players in the Chicago area as the Circuit comes to the Grand Victora Casino.
After two massively successful WSOP Circuits in 2022 and early 2023, the Riverboat Casino in Elgin, IL, will host its third one starting Thursday. The series will run between November 9 - 20, awarding 16 gold rings and $1,5 Million in guaranteed prize money.
The schedule will look similar to previous Grand Victoria stops, starting out with the $400 No-Limit Hold'em 30K Opener, a one-day event boosted with a $50,000 guarantee. Later in the afternoon, the $600 No-Limit Hold'em will get underway, with the first of four Day 1 flights.
The series also features two Seniors Events for players 50 years or older (November 12 & 19) and one Ladies' Event (November 17).
The highlight of the series is, of course, the $1,700 MAIN EVENT with a $750,000 guarantee. Players who decide to fire the Main will have three flights to choose from. Flight A will have cards in the air at 11 AM Thursday, November 16, and flights B and C will have the same start times the two following days.
WSOP's official Circuit Media Partner, Poker.org, will provide coverage of the entire series with end-of-night chip count reports, interviews, highlights of big hands, and much more. Make sure to follow Poker.org on Twitter (@pokerorg) and Instagram (@poker_org_) to catch all the action.
All official gold ring winners from this WSOP Circuit stop will qualify for the invitation-only “Tournament of Champions”. The $1 million freeroll event will be held during the 2024 World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas. 2024 Online winners will also be eligible to compete in the prestigious event.
