This summer any player that wins a ring or a bracelet will get an exclusive entry. WSOP is hosting a Tournament of Champions event on July 18th in Las Vegas. This year’s event is moving to Bally’s and Paris on The Strip.
Players will have a chance at a $1 million freeroll. There is no buy-in to this event. Seats must be earned!
Here is a look at the structure for that event:
- 11 a.m. starting time
- 60 minute levels
- 3 Day Event
- 30,000 starting stack
Pennsylvania and Michigan players have options for 12 ring events
Aside from the New Jersey events, Pennsylvania and Michigan will have their own separate series this May.
Their combined prizes will be more than $1 million. Pennsylvania and Michigan remain a “ringed-in” market for the time being, but a new compact may change that.
Michigan just released information about combining player pools.
