It's one of the busiest stretches of the year on the WSOP Circuit as the tour closes out October and rolls into November, with two more series getting underway this week.
One is a staple of America's biggest poker tour, while the other makes an exciting debut.
The Circuit welcomes The Reserve for $2M series
The WSOP Circuit has added several successful new stops to the tour in 2026, and another joins the calendar this week in Toledo, Ohio.
The Reserve Poker Club has established itself as a new hotbed of poker in the Midwest with multiple million-dollar events that have attracted some of the biggest names in poker.
Now it's the World Series of Poker’s turn to join in on the action with its inaugural series there.
Over $2M in guarantees are promised across the 18-ring event schedule kicking off on Thursday, October 29 and running through Monday, November 9.
A $1M guaranteed $1,700 buy-in Main Event with three starting flights headlines the series, beginning on Thursday, November 5.
Other Circuit marquee events shine on the schedule, with a $500K guaranteed $400 Mini Main Event kicking things off, a $100K guaranteed $600 Monster Stack event, Ladies and Seniors events, and mixed game offerings including H.O.R.S.E. and Big O.
Bigger buy-in events such as an $1,100 Freezeout and $2,200 High Roller are also on offer.
It’s got all the makings of an outstanding series – and we can’t wait to be there for the first-time festivities.
Circuit pillar Choctaw Durant hosts its latest series
Meanwhile, to the south, about an hour’s drive from Dallas, Choctaw Durant welcomes the WSOP Circuit back for the third time in 2026.
A cornerstone of the WSOP Circuit with its seasonal offerings and big fields, this huge Oklahoma property is another can’t-miss stop on the tour.
As is the norm at this premier venue on the Circuit, a $1M guaranteed, $1,700 buy-in Main Event is the feature attraction, starting Friday, November 6 for the first of two starting flights.
Winston Djonli won January’s Main Event, topping the 922-entry field for $232,680, while fresh off the summer’s World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, July’s series saw Carson Wieland take home the title and $268,245 for his victory over 1,117 entries.
“The Gargantuan” is Choctaw’s other big-name WSOP Circuit event, checking in with a $250K guarantee, five starting flights, and a $400 buy-in.
While not quite in Texas, things can definitely be bigger at Choctaw Durant, including their Mini Main Event, which comes with a $1,100 buy-in and a $200K guarantee.
Another unique event, building on the popular 40/40/40 structure – which features a 40,000-chip starting stack, 40-minute levels, and entry available to those 40 years old or older – is the 40/40/4-all.
It’s the identical event with the same $400 buy-in, only without the age restrictions.
In all, 18 prestigious WSOP Circuit rings will be up for grabs, each coming with one of the final $5,000 packages to WSOP Paradise – as is the case with The Reserve and all WSOP Circuit events in 2026.
