WSOP CIRCUIT DEBUTS THIS WEEK AT FOXWOODS RESORT
Mashantucket, CT (March 26, 2013) – For the first time ever, the World Series of Poker Circuit stops at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT. The series runs from Wednesday, March 27th through April 8th.  Like all Circuit events, this poker series will award 12 Circuit rings over the course of 12 days of poker action.
 
Foxwoods is one of  four new venues on this season's schedule and marks the first time the WSOP will host an event in the state of Connecticut.  This season has already played host to several memorable and well-attended stops on the East Coast and Foxwoods is certain to continue that streak thanks to its reputation as one of the poker capitals of the region.

As the largest resort casino in North America, Foxwoods features six different casinos on property. With over 6,300 slot machines, 350 table games, a 3,600-person High Stakes Bingo Hall, state of the art Race Book, and a poker room with over 100 tables, Foxwoods provides almost unlimited possibilities for those looking for some action.

Additionally, Foxwoods holds four different hotels and 38 restaurants on property.  If that wasn’t enough, it also features a nightclub, bowling alley, comedy club, concert venue as well as numerous bars, arcades and shopping amenities.

More information on the casino and its amenities can be found on its website.

The WSOP Circuit kicks off at noon on Wednesday, March 27th with a $365 No-Limit Hold ‘em event. Opening weekend will also feature a $365 re-entry event.

The $1,675 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event begins Saturday, April 6 at 11 a.m. with the first of two starting flights. Flights B begins at 5 p.m.. Players are allowed a total of one re-entry. If a player has played only one flight, they have option of re-entering at the beginning of Day 2.

A full schedule of events is available on WSOP.com.

The winner of the Main Event will earn an automatic entry into the season-ending WSOP National Championship presented by Southern Comfort 100 Proof. The player who accumulates the most Circuit points over the course of this 12-day series will be crowned Casino Champion and also earn a seat into the National Championship, which will be held in New Orleans, LA from May 22-24 and will air on ESPN later this year.

The Foxwoods Resort Casino is less than two hours south of Boston and just a short drive from both the Providence and Hartford airports.
