The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit has launched simultaneous series at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe in Nevada and Horseshoe Tunica in Mississippi, following the conclusion of the 2026 WSOP Europe in Prague. These events began on April 16, with well-attended $400 No-Limit Hold’em Double Stack tournaments and the opening flights of the $400 Mini Main Events at both venues.
Each location features an extensive ring event schedule running through April 27, 2026. The largest tournament, the $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event, includes two opening flights at each site: Flight A on April 24 and Flight B on April 25, both beginning at 11 a.m. local time. The defending champions are Evan Sandberg, who secured victory at Caesars Republic in November 2025, and David Yount, who claimed the title at Horseshoe Tunica, each taking home six-figure prizes.
In addition to the main events, both series offer various poker formats including Pot-Limit Omaha, Monster Stack, Seniors and Ladies events, and high roller tournaments. Every winner of a WSOP Circuit ring at these stops earns a $5,000 package for the WSOP Circuit Championship at WSOP Paradise 2026, covering the championship entry and hotel accommodations.
The WSOP Circuit schedule has expanded in recent years, with the WSOP Paradise events reaching record-breaking prize pools. In 2025, the Paradise Super Main Event posted a prize pool of $72,275,000, awarding $10,000,000 to the champion, Bernhard Binder.
