The World Series of Poker Circuit, which is in its 12th season, kicked off its stop at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana, which is just outside the Chicago city limits. The stop, which will award 12 rings, kicked off with Event #1 $365 No-Limit Hold’em Reentry, a tournament that attracted 2,211 entrants and created a prize pool of $663,300.
The WSOP Circuit visited the venue for the eighth-consecutive year, but for the first time in history the opening $365 reentry event hosted a third starting day and allowed for unlimited reentries.
