Caesars Atlantic City
The very energetic World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit hits Atlantic City fresh off the back of the last event in Florida.
The Caesars Atlantic City casino plays host to the WSOP Circuit from 2nd March 2 to 13th. The tournament will include nine Hold’em ring events and Limit Omaha event. A number of satellite and second chance tournaments and seniors and ladies events will be on offer. Buy-ins for ring events start as low as $350. The Main Event will start on 11th March with a $1,650 buy-in for three days of No Limit Hold’em.
Last year’s Main Event at the Caesers in Atlantic City had a larger buy-in of $5,150 and attracted 174 players to create a prize pool of $817,015. Roland Isra from New York took home the top prize worth $264,715 and the prized gold ring.
The WSOP Circuit moves to Atlantic City straight from the Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida where the first time the new circuit hit the state, the opening ring game worked its way into history as the largest single-venue poker tournament ever held in Florida.with a mighty whopping 877 participants. The winner of the stop’s Main event was 19-year-old professional, John Riordan, who took home $210,180 for first place. Riordan was also presented with a WSOP Circuit gold ring, the coveted prize awarded to all winners in poker’s biggest and most prestigious national tournament series. The WSOP Circuit stop also crowned Florida’s first major poker tournament female champion – June Amer won a WSOP Circuit gold ring and $65,338 in the $550 No-Limit Hold’em competition.
The next WSOPC series is the Regional Championship at Harrah’s Rincon Casino & Resort from March 10-30; that’s in San Diego. Good luck!

As is customary in the month of January, the World Series of Poker Circuit Event will be headed to Tunica, MS from January 20th to February 3rd. The event will be held at Harrahs Tunica. This resort features a golf course, two hotels, a kids arcade, and is one of the most awe inspiring properties that Harrahs owns.
This year’s event will be the only game in town as the WPT decided to not renew the Tunica stop on the current season of the World Poker Tour. For years, the WPT and the WSOP competed for the tournament dollars of local poker players. This year, the WSOP should show a strong crowd for most events. Expect many pros to be among those in attendance during the events.
For more information, go to www.worldseriesofpoker.com. For those that may think about going to the event, discounts are usually offered for players playing in the events. Shuttle services are also available from the hotels to the casino. If you have never been to Tunica or to a WSOP Circuit event stop, this is one that you shouldn’t miss.
