Harrah's Entertainment, Inc., the company behind this year's highly successful World Series of Poker, has recently released details for their 2009/2010 Circuit Schedule and upon inspection it appears there are a few pleasant surprises.

Last season's WSOP-C schedule featured ten great stops which spanned much of the country, from as far west as San Diego, to as far east as Atlantic City, as far North as Chicago, all the way down to New Orleans, and this season's schedule looks to be covering even more ground.

The 2009/2010 WSOP-C season has grown from last year and will now feature eleven Harrah's properties, including an exciting new stop in St. Louis, Missouri, home of the Cardinals, great ribs and one big honking arch.

Each WSOP-C stop will once again offer great bang for the tournament grinders buck, as well as that little extra incentive of a chance to score a free ticket to the World Series of Poker Main Event- a $10K valued gift, awarded to anyone who takes down a WSOP-C main event title.

"World Series of Poker Circuit Events are a great way to gain live tournament experience, get a feel for what the World Series of Poker is all about and have a lot of fun," said Jeffrey Pollack, President and Commissioner of the World Series of Poker.  "Every stop on the WSOP Circuit has a local flair and provides a best in class poker-playing experience."

The first stop on the 2009/2010 schedule begins in October at the Horseshoe Hammond near Chicago, for further details visit www.worldseriesofpoker.com.
