Harrah's Announces New WSOP Circuit Event Schedule

Harrah's released the schedule for the third installment of its World Series of Poker Circuit series this week. The schedule is made up of 11 different stops at nine different venues and begins Sept. 7 at Harrah's Lake Tahoe.

Two main changes to the circuit series also were announced. First, instead of the main event at each stop having a $10,000 buy-in, it will cost $5,000 to enter. And second, an entry to the 2007 WSOP main event is included in the winner's prize package.

"For the first time, our Circuit events are tied to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas," said Jeffrey Pollack, Commissioner of the WSOP. "If you win the $5,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em Circuit championship at one of our properties, you're headed to Las Vegas to play in our main event."

Each WSOP Circuit stop will offer several tournaments with buy-ins ranging from a few hundred dollars to $5,000 for the no-limit hold'em Circuit championship. The winner of each Circuit $5,000 buy-in final will receive cash as well as a seat in the $10,000 buy-in to the world championship at the 2007 WSOP in Las Vegas.
