This three-day event, which features two Day 1 flights, gets underway at 2 p.m. local time with late registration open for 12 levels. This event allows for two reentries per flight. There will be 20-minute breaks every three levels, with a 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 12 (~8:40 p.m.)
The starting stack is 60,000 chips with the plan for Day 1a and 1b to play 20 levels of 30 minutes each.

The initial schedule — US and international — is out for the 2024-2025 World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) season, and it should create some excitement within the poker community.
Action for the 20th Circuit season kicks off at a familiar spot — Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma — on July 17, the same day as the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event concludes. There will also be a return to the same casino in October.
There are 18 stops — 13 in the US and five in other countries — on the 2024 portion of the WSOPC schedule. That includes five different countries and eight US states.
Are we witnessing the greatest World Series of Poker (WSOP) ever?
No hyperbole, that's a genuine question. On Sunday, Scott Seiver won his third bracelet of the summer making him a lock to win the 2024 WSOP Player of the Year award. Or, so you'd think. But the latter part of that sentence couldn't be further from the truth.
In celebration of the 55th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) Tournament, Horseshoe Las Vegas has introduced two exclusive limited-time menu items that will delight both poker enthusiasts and food connoisseurs alike.

Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Sports Kitchen at Horseshoe Las Vegas is pulling out all the stops with the introduction of the 4-of-a-Kind Burger. This mouthwatering creation features a juicy beef patty topped with:
For just $34.99, this burger promises a flavor-packed experience that’s a winning hand every time.
For those seeking a high-stakes culinary challenge, Jack Binion’s Steak presents JB’s Callin’ Your Bluff Challenge. This formidable feast includes:
- I raise to 6.5k on the button and both small blind and big blind come along - blinds are 2500/1500 - flop is 6♠2♦5♠
I bet 6k and sb calls and bb folds - then is the 7♥ and I lead for 10k and sb raises to 20k and I put him all in - he calls with A7 & is drawing dead -
