Elizabeth, Ind. (September 25, 2018) -- The World Series of Poker Circuit has completed four stops so far in the 2018-2019 season. Next up on the tour schedule is Horseshoe Southern Indiana, a casino located in Elizabeth, Indiana and more commonly referred to as "The Boat."
Beginning Thursday, September 27th, the Southern Indiana Circuit series will hand out a total of 12 gold
rings over the span of 12 days.
Ring
events will get rolling on day one of the series with Event #1: $400 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo. Following the one-day tournament will be a more extensive competition. Event #2, the multi-flight, re-entry entails two separate starting legs, one commencing on Friday and the second on Saturday.
Another key event with
multiple starting flights will be the $1,700 Main Event, which begins Friday,
October 5th. The signature WSOP tournament will take four days to
complete. Its conclusion on Monday, October 8th will bring the Horseshoe Southern Indiana Circuit to an end.
Last years Main Event winner at "The Boat" was Justin Boggs. The Ohio native outmatched a field of 424 entrants to win $139,920 and his first ever WSOP gold ring.
The winner of the Main Event and the Casino Champion will earn a seat to the 2019 Global Casino Championship.
There they will compete for a minimum $1 million prizepool, as well as a
