The World Series of Poker Circuit has split into two equally mighty parts and PokerOrg is along for the ride with double-barreled live coverage from Cherokee, North Carolina, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Both series kick off on Thursday, February 13 with 12 days of poker action planned on each side of the country. Harrahās Cherokee welcomes 18 ring events and a $1,700 Main Event with a $1.5 million guarantee, while Graton Resort will award 18 rings of their own just north of San Francisco with a $1,700 Main Event that guarantees $500,000.
Weāll be live and on scene at both places and the action starts right away with the $1,000,000 Mini Main at Cherokee. Thursday offers the first of five starting flights with a $400 buy-in that will surely pack the popular room to capacity. Meanwhile, Graton Resort opens up its first day with a $400 Mystery Bounty that has five flights of its own and a $250,000 guarantee.
Instant Live on both coasts
Our very own Chris Land is back in North Carolina with Instant Live coverage throughout the entire series. Last time at Cherokee, Jacob Hamed shipped the Main Event for $299K and his second ring of the week.
Meanwhile, in California, Mike Patrick is holding it down with Instant Live coverage in the Bay Area. Locals likely dispute the āBay Areaā designation of Sonoma County, but itās close enough for the purposes of calling this the Bay Area Circuit stop. The tour returns to the relatively new Rohnert Park venue after a successful outing in August that saw Sasha Sabbaghian beat 580 entries to win $168K in the Main Event.
The August Graton stop also featured Rayo Kniep and his first WSOP ring ā a feat he accomplished just after his car burned up on a freeway outside Sacramento.
