The 2010/2011 World Series of Poker circuit tour added a new stage in Oklahoma as the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant will host its first-ever World Series of Poker Circuit event from January 6th trough 25th 2011. So now the 2010/11 schedule includes 13 official tour stops, and one more is expected to be added soon.
The upcoming winter the Choctaw Casino Resort WSOP event will feature 10 WSOP ring events and a total of 54 different events. Fresh off a $300 million expansion the expanded Choctaw Casino Resort features a brand-new 30-table poker lounge. But the news aren’t finished, because the Choctaw Casino Resort stop also marks the first time the WSOP has stepped outside the Harrah’s-affiliated properties to offer a WSOP-branded event.
“After visiting the property, it was a must that we brought a WSOP Circuit stop to Choctaw Casino Resort” stated WSOP Vice President Ty Stewart. “We’re ecstatic to be hosting a WSOP Circuit in this gorgeous property in Durant”. Choctaw Casino Resort Director of Gaming & Hotel Operations Steven Loyd replied: “The vibrant poker markets in Texas and Oklahoma deserve a local to regional WSOP Circuit opportunity and Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant couldn’t be a better choice. We are very proud to be the newest member of the WSOP Circuit family”.
