Harrah’s Pompano Beach has begun its $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em WSOP Circuit Main Event, a tournament that carries a $1 million guaranteed prize pool and runs Oct. 8-12.
The Main Event is the centerpiece of the property’s Oct. 1-12 WSOP Circuit festival, which includes 18 championship ring events. For players, the headline details are straightforward: a $1,700 buy-in, three starting flights, a guaranteed seven-figure prize pool, and a WSOP Circuit gold ring for the winner.
Main Event schedule and prize details
The tournament opened with Day 1A on Thursday, Oct. 8. Day 1B is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 9, and Day 1C for Saturday, Oct. 10. The official WSOP schedule lists each starting flight at 11 a.m. ET.
According to the source report, an Oct. 1 news release listed Thursday’s opening flight at 10 a.m. ET, but the official WSOP schedule shows 11 a.m. ET.
Beyond the ring, the winner is also set to receive a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package.
Part of a broader 18-ring stop in South Florida
The Main Event is the marquee tournament in an 18-ring series at Harrah’s Pompano Beach in Oakland Park, Florida. The stop has already drawn recognizable tournament players.
Matt Glantz, whose career tournament earnings were described in the source report as nearly $10 million, finished second in the $1,100 Seniors High Roller for $19,777. Saber Salum of Paraguay won that event for $29,850.
For poker players following the series, the key date window remains Oct. 8-12 for the Main Event, with the three Day 1 flights determining the field that will play down to a champion. As with any tournament stop, players should review the official schedule for any event-specific details and play responsibly.
