The WSOP Circuit Harrah's Cherokee Main Event is Upon Us
It is that time of year once again for the WSOP Circuit Harrah’s Cherokee Event 10: $1700 Main Event. Always one of the most anticipated main events of the circuit calendar, this year is expected to generate another large competitive field and the winner will be the first main event champion of the 2019/2020 WSOP Circuit season.
Last year, Adam Ross of Georgia won a life changing $295,970 after topping a field of 1,056 entries, including the defeat of experienced circuit grinder Ryan Phan heads up. This year’s Cherokee Harrah’s Circuit has already had a lot of action and will be culminated by this main event.
This year the event will feature two starting flights, both starting at 11 a.m. The first one, Flight A is today August 9 and Flight B is tomorrow August 10. The first fifteen levels are 40 minutes long. Each flight will play either 16 levels or until 16% of the field remains, whichever comes first. Fifteen-minute breaks are every three levels (two hours) of play with a 60-minute dinner break after level 9. Registration is open all the way until the start of level 13 and players are allowed one re-entry per flight, which is a total of four max.
