Las Vegas, Nevada (November 21, 2023) - The holiday season is here, and while most people are taking a Thanksgiving break, the World Series of Poker Circuit is ramping up by traveling to Cherokee, NC, for its largest stop of the tour, Harrah's Cherokee.

A four-flight $400 No-Limit Hold'em event will get underway on Friday, featuring a $500,000 guarantee. Event #2: $400 No-Limit Hold'em, has grown to become one of the stables of the Cherokee Circuits, with consistently massive player fields.
