Welcome to Day 1a of the WSOP Circuit $1,700 Main Event Ameristar St. Charles
The 2019/20 season of the World Series of Poker Circuit has already completed three of the 35 scheduled stops of the series with its fourth being at a location the WSOP has not graced in some time, St. Louis. It's been five whole seasons since the Circuit has made an appearance in the St. Louis area but the drought is over as Day 1a of the $1,700 Main Event is set to kick-off at 11 am today in St. Charles at the Ameristar Casino.
The last time the WSOP stormed Missouri was back in February of 2015 at Lumiere Place, where Josh Turner bested 415 runners to claim his second gold ring along with $136,945 in his hometown of St. Louis.
