The WSOP Circuit Travels to Holland Casino Rotterdam Nov. 14–22
The Holland Casino Rotterdam is gearing up to host the latest installment of the ever-popular World Series of Poker Circuit festival that runs between November 14th-22nd. A total of 14 WSOP Circuit rings are up for grabs and some of the Netherlands and surrounding countries’ best players are set to descend on Rotterdam to compete for some poker jewellery.
An array of side events and satellites complement the 14 ring-awarding events, while cash games run daily between 4:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. Every one of the events is prestigious in its own right, but two tournaments, in particular, look set to capture the imagination of the poker community, which is why the PokerNews Live Reporting team will be on the ground reporting on them.
First up on our agenda is the €1,100 buy-in WSOP Circuit Main Event with its €250,000 guaranteed prize pool. The Main Event features three starting flights, with Day 1C running sporting a turbo blind structure. Whoever wins this Main Event also secures a $10,000 seat to the WSOP Global Casino Championship in addition to their gold ring and their prize money.
Tobias Peters is the reigning WSOP Circuit Rotterdam Main Event champion having triumphed in the tournament in September 2018. Peters topped a field of 181 entrants to lock down the €67,776 first-place prize.
The second tournament you can follow here on PokerNews is the €2,750 High Roller 8-Max that kicks off on November 18th. The only tournament to compare it to from last year was the slightly more expensive €3,500 High Roller that saw Luuk Gieles outlast 37 opponents on his way to a €53,078 score.
