The World Series of Poker Circuit's 2015-16 season kicked off on Aug. 11 at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., the first of 21 stops for the tour. It began with a bang: Event #1: $580 No-Limit Hold'em Reentry featured a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool and four starting days.
When the dust settled, Firas Haddad of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., emerged from the 1,457-player field to claim a $126,760 first-place prize, his first-ever WSOP cash. The turnout created a prize pool of $734,910, easily clearing the guarantee.
