HORSESHOE COUNCIL BLUFFS CIRCUIT PREVIEW
The World Series of Poker Circuit returns to Horseshoe Council Bluffs between September 6 - 17.
Las Vegas, Nevada. (September 4, 2023) - The 2022/23 World Series of Poker Circuit tour continues Wednesday with the fifth stop of the Circuit season. In total, 15 gold ring events will be held during 12 days of poker action at the Horseshoe Council Bluffs.
The schedule is similar to previous WSOP Circuits at Council Bluffs, with a few exceptions. One newcomer is Event #10: $400 Ring & Seats. The winner of this brand-new event will receive a gold ring, an entry to the 2024 Main Event in Las Vegas, and a seat to the Circuit Main Event that will have cards in the air the following day. The remaining prizepool will go towards Circuit Main Event Seats.
The marquee event of the series will get underway on Friday, September 15th. The $1,700 Main Event has two starting flights: September 15 and 16 at 11:00 AM. Wisconsin's Josh Reichard took down the WSOP Circuit Main Event at Council Bluffs last September to earn the 16th gold ring of his career and will sit as the reigning champion until this year’s Main event concludes on September 18.
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.
