Returning to Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, CA from September 26-October 7 is the WSOP Circuit Series, featuring for the first-time ever at Thunder Valley, a $1 Million Guarantee Circuit Main Event.
The full series begins the 25th with a very popular TVPokerRoom event, a package satellite. This version is a $500 entry awarding $2,700 in WSOP Circuit entries, including the Million Dollar Circuit Main Event, plus one $600 and one $400 ring event.
Opening weekend is a $300,000 Guarantee $400 Opener, There’s a $100,000 Guarantee on the two-flight $400 Monster Stack, 2-7 Triple Draw returns at a $600 price point, and there’s three 20-seats-guaranteed $400 Main event satellites as well.
Thunder Valley’s 13-event 2023 fall Circuit series also featured a wide variety of events and big fields throughout, with another star of the Circuit adding to his ring collection as Valentin Vornicu picked up his 13th win in the $600 2-7 Triple Draw event.
The series was capped off by another incredible Main Event as Michael Persky went back-to-back in NorCal, taking down this Main Event as well as Graton just six weeks earlier. This time Persky defeated a field of 594 entries for a $170,870 win.
Last fall’s Thunder Valley series saw those 13 events top a collective $2,000,000 in prizepools and this fall’s series could easily surpass that number as fields grow at Thunder Valley with every series.
As always, the champion of each event will take home a WSOP Circuit ring and earn entry into the $1,000,000 Tournament of Champions freeroll whose location will be released at a later date.
