HARRAH'S CHEROKEE CIRCUIT PREVIEW
The WSOP Circuit returns to Harrah's Cherokee for a twelve-day series between August 1 - 12, featuring 20 ring events and over $4 million in guarantees.
Las Vegas, Nevada (July 31, 2024) - The new Circuit season is underway, as Choctaw Durant kicked off the 2024/25 season last week in impressive fashion.
Up next is Harrah's Cherokee, a property that has grown to be the undisputed powerhouse on the WSOP Circuit, holding numerous live mid-stakes records with consistently large prizepools and guarantees.
Cherokee will host a total of three stops during the 2024/25 season, with the first one starting tomorrow and will run between August 1 - 23. The series will feature over $4 million in guaranteed prize money across 20 ring events.
The $600 No-Limit Hold'em Opener will kick things off, followed by the four-flight $400 No-Limit Hold'em Mini Main Event. Historically, the four-flight event during the opening weekend has generated large entry fields with 2,657 last August, generating a total prizepool of $876,810.
Other highlights on the schedule includes the $400 Monster Stack (Aug 6), the $2,200 High Roller (Aug 11), and of course, the $1,700 MAIN EVENT.
The Cherokee Circuit Main Event is boosted with $1.5 million in guaranteed prize money, and player will have two starting flights to choose from. Flight A is starting at 11:00 AM on August 9, followed by Flight B at the same time the following day.
Last August, the Main Event in Cherokee attracted a massive field of 1,623 entries, generating a total prize pool of $2,458,845 - one of the largest events of the 2023/24 WSOP Circuit season.
