WSOP Circuit Makes Its Choctaw Casino Debut

The first World Series of Poker Circuit action of 2011 is in progress at Choctaw Casino Resort, marking the first time that the tournament series has made its way to the Durant, Oklahoma venue. A total of 51 events are on the schedule from Jan. 6-24, with ten of them being WSOP Circuit ring events. The biggest is the $1,600 main event, starting on Jan. 22.

Players participating in the main event will start with 20,000 in chips, and levels will last for 40 minutes through the first day of play, 60 minutes during Day 2 and 75 minutes on the final day.

With so many events scheduled, a variety of different poker games will be on display, including hold’em, pot limit Omaha, PLO/2-7 triple draw mixed, H.O.R.S.E. and Omaha 8/b. Other special events include a $235 ladies event on Jan. 9 and a $235 seniors event on Jan. 16.

Players will receive WSOP Circuit leader board points according to their performances in the ring events, and the winner of the main event will receive an automatic entry into the $1 million WSOPC National Championship set to take place in Vegas in May.

Later in the month, the WSOP Circuit returns to Harrah’s Tunica in Mississippi, beginning Jan. 27 and continuing until Feb. 15.
