2010-2011 WSOP Circuit announces new stops in FL and PA

Officials of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) announced this week the addition of two new stops to the 2010-2011 WSOP Circuit schedule. The new stops will take place at the Palm Beach Kennel Club in FL and at Harrah's Chester in PA.
The WSOP Circuit tournament at the Palm Beach Kennel Club will be held from February 17th to March 1st and will offer players at least 10 events awarding points counting towards the WSOP Circuit National Championship, as well as a $1,500 main event awarding the winner an automatic entry into the National Championship taking place May 27-29, 2011 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

“Florida was definitely a market we wanted to serve, as the residents of the sunshine state have been loyal participants at the WSOP in Las Vegas. “After careful consideration of our options, it was clear that the Palm Beach Kennel Club could accommodate the kind of numbers we expect for a Circuit Event in this market. Players who have visited there rave about the staff and the unique dynamic of playing poker overlooking the live action on the track.” said WSOP Vice President Ty Stewart.

The second stop announced will take place from April 28 to May 9, 201, at Caesars Entertainment’s own property in Chester, Pennsylvania.
