Here's a look at some of the ring winners so far at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Tunica. Each of these men are in contention for the "Casino Championship" and likely looking for a second ring in today's Main Event.
The World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Tunica Main Event is set to begin with two flights scheduled for the day's action. Players will have an opportunity to pony up the $1,600 entrance fee twice if they bust during their first flight. Each flight will consist of nine levels of play before they bag and tag for the day.
Last year's champ Sam Barnhart is in attendance and will look to use this event as springboard for his 2012 year. Barnhart came from nowhere last year to win the event, earned his seat to the National Championship and took down the $300,000 first place prize. He rode his momentum all the way through the WSOP Main Event where he finished in 17th place.
Attendance has been up from last year during the preliminary events and all signs point to players smashing the 480 entrants in 2011.
Action kicks off promptly at 12:00 p.m. CST for the Day 1a flight with the Day 1b flight set to start at 7:00 p.m. CST. Follow all the action live on Pokernews.com
