Check Out the Schedule for the 2013-14 WSOP Circuit Season
Level 31
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
The World Series of Poker Circuit is part of the massive WSOP brand. Over the recent years, the Circuit has seen some great changes applied by the WSOP, which have sparked a boom of sorts with much larger field sizes and prize pools. Even the overall WSOP Circuit schedule has grown, adding three new stops for the next go-round.
While this final stop in New Orleans marks the close of the 2012-13 season for the WSOP Circuit, the tour won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Recently, the WSOP announced the plan for the 2013-14 season, which will kick off this August at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut.
The 10th season of the WSOP Circuit will feature 22 stops, each offering 12 gold ring events with buy-ins ranging from $365 to $1,675. Just like this season, each WSOP Circuit Main Event winner will receive an automatic berth into the WSOP Circuit National Championship, as will the “Casino Champion,” the player who accumulates the most points throughout the 12-event gold ring schedule, at each participating venue.
While much will remain the same for the new season, there are some key changes that have been implemented. First and foremost, the National Championship will be taking place at Caesars Atlantic City. The second big change is that one “Last Shot” online tournament series is planned for WSOP.com that will award seats to the National Championship. Then, there are three brand new stops to the tour at Horseshoe Cincinnati, Casino Montreal and Horseshoe Cleveland, and those all plan to be very big stops.
Anyway you look at it, the WSOP Circuit has been very much revived since its big overhaul a few seasons back, and it's a tournament series that is doing very, very well for itself. For your chance at a WSOP Circuit gold ring and a shot in the National Championship, check out the schedule today and start planning your trips!
