The World Series of Poker Circuit at Harrah's Pompano Beach kicks off in two weeks' time. The festival will include 18 WSOPC ring events and almost daily satellite events.

The first tournament will kick off on January 30. The event is the Double Stack Opener, a $400 no limit hold'em event with 40,000 starting stacks and a $50,000 guarantee.

This guarantee is just one of $2,775,000 in total guarantees that include a $400,000 guaranteed $600 Mini-Main Event, a $250,000 guaranteed $1,100 Mystery Bounty, and the $1,000,000 guaranteed $1,700 Main Event.

The festival will then run until February 10.

How To Win a WSOP Circuit Ring at Harrah's Pompano Beach

Competition for the World Series of Poker Circuit gold rings will be tough as turnout is expected to be high. This fact is reflected in the massive guarantees on some of the events.

With fields expected to be so massive, most of the key events have multiple Day 1 flights to accommodate the crowds. The $1,700 Main Event will have two Day 1 flights, the $400 Monster Stack will have three, and Event #11: $400 No Limit Holdem will have four.

There are also three closed events that are expected to be more manageable in size thanks to the restricted fields. These are the usual Ladies and Seniors events plus a new 40/40/40 Event in which entrants must be over 40 years old, will start with a 40,000 chip stack, and play with 40-minute blind levels.

There are also two Omaha events. One is a straightforward pot limit Omaha event, the other is a game of big O.

Players can win entry to some of these events online or by playing in the almost daily live satellites that Harrah's Pompano Beach is hosting in its poker room.

The Last WSOP Circuit Harrah's Pompano Beach Winner

The WSOP Circuit last hit up Harrah's Pompano Beach earlier in the 2024/2025 season. The Main Event took wrapped up on October 12, 2024 with Ian Cohen taking the ring as well as a top prize of $193,100.

Cohen is a regular at Harrah's Pompano Beach, with 30 poker tournament victories claimed in the Pompano Beach poker room alone.

He was able to bulldoze his way to a six-to-one heads up chip lead against Josh Hillock.

Hillock had been the social butterfly at the table, chatting and joking with everyone right up to the end of the tourney.

However, without many chips to maneuver during heads up play, Hillock was left vulnerable and Cohen was able to quickly catch and pin him. Moving in with J♦10♦, Cohen got lucky and cracked Hillock's pocket queens to take home the top prize.

Hillock took home a heap of cash $128,728 high, while Cohen took home $193,100.
