Two players here at Harrah’s New Orleans will earn automatic entries into the 2015 WSOP National Championship, scheduled for July 29-31 at Harrah’s Cherokee (North Carolina). The Main Event winner earns a free entry, valued at $10,000, as does the Casino Champion—the player who earns the most leaderboard points over the course of the 12 ring events.

They’ll be joined at the National Championship by over 50 at-large qualifiers, each of whom also earns a free entry. The top 50 players on the year-long Circuit leaderboard qualify. This is the penultimate stop of the 2014-2015 WSOP Circuit season, and one of the last chances for players to earn points and score a seat. The last stop of the season will be held at Foxwoods, beginning May 13th, just a couple days after actions concludes here in New Orleans.
