Typically, WSOP Circuit events include multiple Texas Hold'em tournaments, such as main events, side events, and satellite tournaments, providing opportunities for players of all levels. All events follow WSOP standard rules, and winners will receive WSOP gold rings and corresponding prize money.

History and Continuity

Turning Stone has been hosting large-scale poker tournaments since the early 2000s, including the New York State Poker Championship. This collaboration with WSOP is a recognition of its venue and operational capabilities. In the future, the casino is expected to become a long-term partner of WSOP.
