DURANT – The World Series of Poker Circuit event kicked off inside Choctaw Casino & Resort – Durant this week!
The tournament began on Wednesday, July 17 with a $130 buy-in seniors event. It will last until Sunday, July 28 with the $1 million championship event being held on Saturday, July 27. The circuit also features a ladies event, no-limit hold ‘em with a $50,000 prize pool, the gargantuan with a $200,000 prize pool and more.
The World Series of Poker Circuit has become a staple at the Durant casino, pulling in top level and amateur players from around the country. At the last WSOP Circuit in Durant, Jonathan Glendinning of Boulder, Co. won nearly $232,000. Players of any skill level are encouraged to compete, and signing up is as simple as bringing your free Choctaw Rewards Club card to the Grand Theater ahead of the event you’d like to participate in.
Players who aren’t quite ready to compete on the World Series of Poker stage can brush up on their poker skills inside the poker room in Sky Tower where there will be cash games from July 17-28.
In between poker games, players can hit the gaming floor to earn entries into Three Months Three Millionaires, the summer promotion that’s making three lucky Rewards Club members millionaires this summer. The first $1 million was claimed in June, but players can earn entries into the July 27 and August 24 drawings.
