The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit is coming to a new home where the series is to be hosted for a week. For the first time in its history, the WSOP Circuit is to come to the Hard Rock Casino Tulsa, where it is to run from March 16th to March 27th.
The beginning of the tournament was set for 11:00 AM on March 16th with one of the most popular events of the series – the $365 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Monster Stack event, which will bring a Gold Ring to its winner. On March 17th, the $365 multi-flight re-entry event is to kick off, offering the entrants a guaranteed prize pool estimated to $250,000, as well as four starting flights scheduled for 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM on Friday and Saturday.
Then, on March 19th a special Seniors Event is to kick off at 10:00 AM, featuring a buy-in of $250. Players could also join a one-day NLHE event which offers the traditional $365 buy-in. On the next day, March 20th, the WSOP Circuit will see a No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout start at 11:00 AM, followed by Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better – a very popular Gold Ring event which starts at 5:00 PM.
A number of other standard NLHE events will be held on March 21st, March 23rd, as well as on March 26th, when there will be a one-day No-Limit Hold’em event starting at 2:00 PM with a buy-in of $365.
There should be another highlight for the No-Limit Hold’em 6-Max event that is to kick off at 11:00 AM on March 22nd, as well as for the $365 Pot-Limit Omaha event on March 25th.
Of course, the main focus is to be on the WSOP Circuit Tulsa Main Event, which is to kick off on March 24th, featuring a buy-in estimated to $1,675. The winner of the Main Event held at the Hard Rock Casino will be granted not only with a cash prize and a gold ring, but also with a free seat into the 2017 edition of the WSOP Global Casino Championship which is scheduled in August.
