The Horseshoe’s $1,675 Circuit Main Event begins tomorrow at noon CT with the first of two starting flights. The property has added seats to nearly every preliminary ring and non-ring event including 27 added between yesterday’s two $200 special events. Per usual, the finale is expected to be one of the largest of the Circuit season and will almost surely award its champion a top prize in the $350,000 range.

Just two years ago, a total of 1,717 entries turned out for what marked the largest Main Event in the tour’s 10-year history. This year’s tournament features a 20,000-chip starting stack and late registration through Level 12. In addition to the six-figure first prize, the champion earns a seat in the first-ever season-ending WSOP Global Casino Championship.
