WSOP Winter Circuit Highlights
Every event on the bustling $150 million guaranteed WSOP Winter Circuit schedule deserves your attention, but a handful of tournaments, naturally, stand out from the crowd.
Of course, the $1,700 buy-in Main Event is the WSOP Winter Circuit tournament that everyone wants to win, not least because it has a giant $10 million guaranteed prize pool up for grabs.
There’s also the $1,500 Merry MILLIONAIRE Maker, which has $5 million guaranteed and promises to turn yet another in a long line of GGPoker players into a millionaire.
Lower stakes players have the chance of playing for a huge pot in the opening event, the BIG 50 Bounty MILLION$ Kick-Off. It guarantees $1 million will be won despite its affordable $50 buy-in.
You may also want to join the mystery bounty craze. Event #15 is a $210 New Year’s MYSTERY BOUTY that has a $2,023,000 prize pool and a top mystery bounty worth a cool $250,000!
