WSOP Circuit Action: Four Stops in February

The World Series of Poker Circuit continues on the US side with three stops planned for this month. When it comes to international events, after a strong start in January, there are none taking place in February.

The first WSOPC stop this month is Harrah’s Cherokee in North Carolina, taking place Feb 13 – 24. The series features 18 ring-awarding tournaments, with buy-ins ranging $400 – $2,200. The $1,700 Main Event features two starting flights and a big guarantee of $1.5 million.

Running during the exactly same time slot is the WSOPC series at Graton Resort & Casino in California. There are also 18 events on the schedule, and the $1,700 Main Event features a guarantee of $500,000.

On February 20, WSOPC is traveling to the Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore, Maryland. The 18-event schedule boasts buy-ins mostly in the $400 – $600 region, with the Main Event featuring the standard $1,700 buy-in with a $500,000 guarantee.

Finally, wrapping up this month’s action and spilling into March 2025 is the WSOPC stop in Horseshoe Hammond in Indiana, running February 27 – March 10. There are once again 18 ring events on offer and the $1,000,000-guaranteed Main Event.

PokerGO Tour Rolls On

Last month, we saw the first 2025 PGT event of 2025 take place, with Kristen Foxen putting on a great performance to take an early lead on the yearly leaderboard.

The action continues in February with two events on the docket, bringing some of the best players in the world together to battle for big prizes and prestige.

Coming around first is the PokerGO Cup, featuring eight events with buy-ins ranging from $5,100 all the way up to $25,200. This series will run Feb 11 – 19.

Kicking off a week later is the PGT Mixed Games series, bringing seven more tournaments from $5,100 to $25,300. This should be a particularly interesting one, as players will battle it out in formats like 8-Game, Mori’s Mix, 10-Game, and Dealer’s Choice.

The World Poker Tour Action Gets Underway

One of the largest live poker tours in the world took a break in January but the action for 2025 will be kicking of this month with the very first WPT event of 2025 taking place in Cambodia.

The NagaWorld Integrated Resort in the country’s capital, Phnom Penh, will host both the $1,100 WPT Prime Championship and the $3,500 WPT Championship between Feb 14 and 19, 2025.

As always, there will be plenty of side events on offer, but at this moment, we don’t have the full schedule for the 2025 World Poker Tour Cambodia series. This should change in the next few days, though, as we get closer to the start date.

Triton Poker Series Wraps the Month With High Stakes Action
