WSOP Brings Circuit Events Online September 18-30

WSOP is taking its Circuit Events online for the first time on September 18-30. The event offers $700,000 guaranteed over 13 days for New Jersey and Nevada players. Check out our overview of these events and more.

Think of the World Series of Poker and your mind goes instantly to the $10,000 Main Event live tournament held in Las Vegas. Or, maybe you think of the dozens of other live events offered at the WSOP that are best known for being televised on ESPN.

But a lot of poker players might also think of WSOP Circuit Events. These events are smaller tournaments that are held around the country at Caesars Entertainment casinos. In Atlantic City, they’ve been held at Caesars and Harrah’s. Instead of awarding bracelets, winners of these tournaments win championship rings.

Why are we mentioning this? Because the WSOP circuit is now going online from September 18-30. This is the first time that the WSOP has held a circuit event online, and that’s largely due to the fact that players in New Jersey and Nevada can now participate in the same tournaments.

Nevada and New Jersey have entered into a player sharing agreement. Delaware is also in the agreement, but through 888poker, a WSOP partner, and can’t access WSOP-branded events.

The circuit event offers $700,000 guaranteed over 13 days. That means 13 rings will be awarded.

The event starts September 18 with a $12,500 guaranteed No Limit KO tournament with a $200 buy-in. That’s actually the lowest guarantee of the tournament events. After that, the lowest guarantee for an event is $25,000.

Some highlights include:

  • Events 5 and 12—September 22 and 29, respectively—are both $50,000-guaranteed no-limit Hold’em double stack tournaments. Buy-in: $320.
  • Event 6—September 23—is a $100,000 guaranteed no-limit Hold’em Monster Stack tournament. Buy-in: $320.
  • Event 13—September 30—is a $200,000 guranteed no-limit Main Event. Buy-in: $525.

You can get the full schedule at our WSOP.com Promotions page.

WSOP.com is also offering a satellite for online players to the World Series of Poker Europe, being held this year at the King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic.

This year’s event is set for October 9 to November 2. It includes €13 million guranteed and 10 WSOP bracelets will be awarded.

The satellites will be held September 30 and October 7 at 6:30pm for a $320 buy-in.

Sign up here.

The winner gets:

  • A €10,350 Main Event Seat
  • A five-night stay at King’s Casino
  • $2,000 for travel

Considering that this year’s WSOP event in Las Vegas included online tournaments, just about all of WSOP’s offerings are going online as well.

When they hit the wire, officials reviewed the finish-line camera and literally could not separate them. The result? A rare, official dead-heat for the Win! But the story gets crazier. Just two weeks later, the exact same two horses raced the exact same distance at the same track—and dead-heated again, this time tying for second place. Talk about defying the odds! official dead heat
