Does anyone know, when they will announce the WSOP2008 Circuit Events?

[CincyLady]

Yeah, I agree, I was there, and cleaned up big time. It drew a huge crowd (the WSOP circuit event), and even truckers stopped at truck stops to come over and play (The Horseshoe has a shuttle service to several of the truck stops in the area).

This as Omaha a lot of trucks move through that area on their cross country trips.

The WSOP Circuit was repositioned by Harrah's in 2006-2007 as a series of "regional" tournaments.

There will be broadband video coverage (worldseriesofpoker.com powered by Bluff Media) of the final table of the $5150 buy-in Circuit events, but no TV coverage, as ESPN declined to buy the TV rights.

Eric Morris, Publisher, Bluff, told me via email TODAY that he has NO INFO about circuit events and he has inquired of Harrah's what their plans are.

CardPlayer mag reports, Vol 20, No 14, Page 51, RH column, that circuit events are not planned this year.

I am hoping they are wrong, but when people who should know don't, it makes me wonder.

Should I sign up for Gulf Coast Chapionship in Biloxi, or wait for Harrahs to announce a circuit in Tunica for basically the same dates?

Obviously the former.

I agree council bluffs was good action although I only played the 2-5 NL game and probably should have checked out the 5-10 NL game - I will cross my fingers that they hold this again. I just wish Missouri could lift the $500 loss limit so they could play at Harrah's North Kansas City or in St. Louis

I'd kill for that kind of restriction, as would most here in Colorado, the land of no hold 'em fold 'em where the max bet allowed here is 5 bucks.

NL poker is nothing but a dream here.

I have no source on this, but I remember reading somewhere and on here that the Circuit Events are no more.

This is not true. I have an inside source.

there's currently legislation (a few weeks back in cardplayer it said this) to remove the $500 loss limit in missouri.
