Can History Repeat Itself?

Last year, the November edition of the WSOPC Choctaw Durant Main Event saw Phillip Bertram emerge victorious from a field of 1,017 entries, earning $237,307. Runner-up Zachary Baron pocketed an impressive $158,217. While January’s turnout might not match November’s numbers, a strong crowd is expected to compete for the million-dollar prize pool.

Looking Ahead

This festival marks the beginning of 13 WSOP Circuit stops scheduled through May 2025. Next up, players can head to the WSOPC Thunder Valley in California, starting January 16. The Circuit will then travel across the U.S., visiting iconic venues like Horseshoe casinos in Mississippi and Maryland, and Harrah’s casinos in North Carolina and Florida.
