Changes For Harrah's and Two New WSOP-C Stops

A press release today confirms that Harrah's Entertainment has undergone a name change. Official as of today, the gaming superpower will now be known as Caesars Entertainment.

In addition, the remainder of the WSOP-C schedule has been refined and made official. We've known for a while that the Circuit would need to add two more stops to the calendar, and today that information was made public.

The Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida seems like a natural addition to the schedule. The tournament series will run from February 17th to March 1st, a perfect time for snowbirds to escape the last clutches of winter and head south for some poker. With a third of the November Nine hailing from the Sunshine State, the 60-table Kennel Club is primed for major tournament poker.

From April 28th to May 9th, the Circuit is moving to Chester, Pennsylvania, just south of Philadelphia. The Casino and Racetrack has a 25-table WSOP branded poker room and a convention center with room for another 50 tables. The Main Event will have a $400,000 guarantee, and it will correspond with the "First Saturday in May", the largest simulcast wagering day of the year.

The Chester stop will also be part of a "$1 Million Tri-State Swing" that encompasses the Atlantic City Main Events in December and March.
