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.
