The WSOP Circuit at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe
The series is being hosted by Harvey’s Lake Tahoe in Stateline, NV. This casino has been a consistent fixture in the WSOP Circuit’s schedule for its 14-year history. The property, owned by Caesars Entertainment, boasts a hotel with 740 rooms, six dining establishments, and a casino spanning 87,500 square feet. The casino offers more than 900 slot machines, nearly 100 table games, and a race and sports book.
The preliminary events for the WSOP Circuit Lake Tahoe actually began at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe last weekend. The opening event was a $365 no-limit hold’em re-entry competition with three starting flights. It attracted 513 entries, resulting in a prize pool of $153,900.
Additional events on the agenda
- $365 no-limit hold’em 6-handed

- $580 no-limit hold’em
Chris Ferguson, Michael Binger, and Jeff Lisandro, who defeated Phil Ivey in a one-on-one match in the 2005 $10,000 Main Event, are among the past winners of the WSOP Circuit Lake Tahoe Main Event.
The biggest online poker room in Nevada
WSOP.com holds the title of the biggest regulated online poker room in the state. The site not only hosts WSOP Circuit Lake Tahoe satellites but also runs online satellites for several of the WSOP’s most significant events.
Additionally, over the past three years, WSOP.com has provided players with the opportunity to win a WSOP bracelet online. The initial two years featured a single $1,000 online tournament on WSOP.com, where the final tables were played live. However, in 2017, WSOP.com hosted three bracelet events that culminated online. This included:
- WSOP Online Bracelet Event #8: $333 Little Grind
- WSOP Event #61: Big Grind Online Bracelet with $3,333 Buy-In
- WSOP Event #71: Classic Online Bracelet with $1,000 Buy-In
Since 2015, the Nevada site has been sharing player pools with online poker sites in Delaware. Recently, New Jersey also agreed to share online poker player pools with Nevada and Delaware. It is anticipated that WSOP.com will be the first site to share player pools across all three markets.
