The Circuit heats up as it heads to sunny West Palm Beach, Florida

West Palm Beach, Fla. (February 1, 2016) – The World Series of Poker Circuit is headed back to the Palm Beach Kennel Club in sunny West Palm Beach. This will be the second time this season the Circuit has visited the Kennel Club. The first stop this season was back in August. The series saw 2015 November Niner and eventual Main Event runner-up finisher, Joshua Beckley, win the series’ opening monster stack event.

This upcoming series will follow a similar schedule to the August Kennel Club series. It will feature 12 gold ring events over 12 days and kick off with a monster stack event. In the monster stack event players begin with twice as many chips as a standard $365 No-Limit Hold’em Circuit event. The monsters stack events have been a hit on the Circuit as of late and are drawing some of the largest single entry Circuit fields on tour.

Also on the schedule is one of the mostly recognizable Circuit tournaments. It is the Palm Beach Kennel Club’s $580 No-Limit Hold’em Re-Entry event. This event has four starting flights and allows unlimited re-entry. Last year this tournament attracted 2,050 entries to create a prizepool of $1,025,000. The re-entry tournament begins Friday, February 5 with the first of four starting flights.

Here is a look at the complete gold ring schedule for the Palm Beach Kennel Club series:

A printable version of the schedule, including side events can be found on WSOP.com.

The side events on the schedule include a $125 nightly, a $250 seniors event and a $125 ladies event. The seniors event and ladies event will award gold rings to the winners, but they will not award any Global Casino Championship points. The nightly will run each night of the series at 7 p.m. except for the final day of the series. The first nine nightly tournaments will each have an additional $2,000 in WSOPC tokens added to the prizepool to increase the value of the tournaments significantly.
