The 14th season of the World Series of Poker Circuit will conclude with the third annual running of the WSOP Global Casino Championship, formerly known as the WSOP National Championship. This week it was announced that the event will once again take place at the Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in North Carolina, which has hosted the Circuit’s season-ending event for four years now.
The freeroll event features a $1 million guaranteed prize pool and will run from Aug. 7 – 9. Like in 2017, the tournament will take place amidst the first WSOP Circuit festival of the new season, a 12 gold-ring series of tournaments running from Aug. 2 – 13.
“Harrah’s Cherokee is excited to continue to be a part of this summer tradition,” said Regional Vice President and General Manager Brooks Robinson. “The Global Casino Championship is a truly special event for us to welcome players from around the country as well as from around the world!”
The WSOP Global Casino Championship is an official gold bracelet event that features a guaranteed prize pool of at least $1 million for players that qualify by winning a WSOPC main event or casino champion titles at any one of the many stops throughout the season. For the third year in a row, this event will also include players from the WSOP International Circuit events.
“Ten years ago we only had 12 Circuit stops and they were all in the U.S. We’re proud to have grown it to 39 stops in 11 different countries and the Global Casino Championship at Harrah’s Cherokee exists to put the best of the best in the same room to see who comes out on top,” said WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart. “We’ll continue to work hard to make the World Series of Poker the biggest and best poker tournaments to play all around the world.”
