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.
The remaining players are going on their second 15-minute break of the day.

Stud Hi-Lo
A player completed, Jeff Madsen raised off a short stack, Andres Korn three-bet, the completion reluctantly folded, and Madsen called all-in.
Jeff Madsen: J♣7♠ / J♥J♦A♠5♠ / 4♣
Andres Korn: 5♣2♦ / 4♥2♠7♥4♠ / 4♦
Madsen made trip jacks on fourth while Korn was chasing a low. However, Korn went runner-runner full house to make fours full of twos while Madsen failed to fill up and was eliminated in unfortunate fashion.
