Two low-stakes no-limit hold’em events kicked off this weekend, drawing incredible turnouts. The World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw $365 buy-in re-entry event attracted a massive field of 5,280 entries to create a $1,584,000 total prize pool, blowing away the $1 million guarantee.
In that event the eventual champion will walk away with a WSOP circuit gold ring and the top prize of $237,622. If a player were able to win the event after putting up only a single bullet then they will receive a payout worth 651 times their initial buy-in.
The top three finishers in the event will all earn six-figure paydays. A total of 549 players will make the money in the event, with a min-cash worth $602.
The same event in 2016 had a turnout of 4,249 players. This year did see two additional starting flights added.
The WSOPCircuit Choctaw was not the only low-stakes event putting up incredible numbers over the weekend. The WPTDeepStacks Hollywood kickoff event held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood was also setting records.
