First Time in Foxwoods: Day 1 Awaits
The World Series of Poker Circuit has wound its way back over to the east coast again for the 16th stop of the 2012-13 season, landing at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
Like other WSOP-C stops, the Main Event here at Foxwoods is only one of a dozen ring events forming part of the schedule, with the eighth and ninth events concluding last night. Turnouts have been healthy all week as well, suggesting we'll be seeing a decent-sized field for today's Main Event.
Here's a look at how things have played out so far this week, including who has already secured coveted WSOP-C rings:
| Event | Buy-in/Game | Entries | Winner | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $365 No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry | 800 | Zachary Donovan | $48,112 |
| 2 | $1,125 No-Limit Hold'em | 179 | Daniel Chan | $48,521 |
| 3 | $365 Limit Omaha Eight-or-Better | 143 | Brian Scholl | $12,040 |
| 4 | $365 No-Limit Hold'em | 388 | Angelo Didio | $25,668 |
| 5 | $365 No-Limit Hold'em | 359 | Glen Minxolli | $24,829 |
| 6 | $580 No-Limit Hold'em | 212 | Arkadiy Tsninis | $26,734 |
| 7 | $365 No-Limit Hold'em | 306 | Aditya Prasetyo | $21,624 |
| 8 | $580 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed | 176 | Aaron Massey | $24,857 |
| 9 | $365 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo | 241 | Julian Schulman | $17,755 |
As has been the case at many WSOP-C Main Events, today's first day of play will actually include two separate Day 1 flights, and in fact the flights will be overlapping somewhat late this afternoon (details on that to come).
Those knocked out in the Day 1a flight will able to re-enter for the evening session if they wish, and any player busting once or twice today will still have an option to buy in once more prior to the start of Sunday's Day 2.
Stick with PokerNews as we'll be reporting from both Day 1 flights all day and night here at Foxwoods, then taking you right through to Monday's final table as we together find out who will be the next WSOP Circuit Main Event champion.
