PokerNews returns to "America's Playground" on Thursday, March 13th for another edition of the World Series of Poker Circuit at Caesar's Palace in Atlantic City.

Last year's event attracted 314 entries, creating a prizepool of over $1.5 million dollars. Danny Yousefzadeh took home the top prize of $488,828 and a gold circuit ring - not to mention a $10,000 buy-in to the WSOP main event.

Live coverage of the event kicks off at 12:00 p.m. local time (EST or GMT -5) Thursday afternoon. We hope to see you then!
