The popular tournament series will run February 13-24
The World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) is set to return to Northern California at Graton Resort & Casino this February. From February 13 to 24, poker enthusiasts will compete for 18 WSOPC gold rings, with over $1.2 million in guaranteed prize money up for grabs throughout the series.
The highlight of the event will be the $500,000 guaranteed No-Limit Hold’em main event, scheduled from February 21 to 24, with a buy-in of $1,700. Last August, the same tournament drew 580 entries, significantly exceeding its guarantee with a final prize pool of $877,185. Sasha Sabbaghian, a Granite Bay resident, claimed victory, securing a gold ring and $168,015 in prize money.
The schedule features eight guaranteed events, four of which promise six-figure prize pools. Among these are a $250,000 guaranteed $400 mystery bounty tournament running from February 13 to 16, a $600 Monster Stack event with a $150,000 guarantee from February 18 to 20, and a $1,250 buy-in tournament offering another $150,000 guarantee, held from February 19 to 20.
Specialty events include seniors tournaments on February 17 and 24, a ladies event on February 20, and mixed games like Omaha eight-or-better, H.O.R.S.E., and Big O.
