Tournament resumes at Cherokee, offering 18 prizes worth $6 million in World Series of Poker Circuit returns

Harrah's Cherokee, located in North Carolina, is set to host four World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit series in 2023. This makes it the venue with the most series on the Circuit, attracting poker enthusiasts from far and wide.

The series, which starts on August 7 and runs for 11 days, will award a total of 18 rings. The highlight of the series is the Main Event, which boasts a guaranteed prize pool of $1.5 million.

Last year, the Main Event at Harrah's Cherokee saw two victories. In August, Donovan Dean took home $326,206, while in December, he claimed another victory, earning $356,952. However, the winner of the May Main Event in 2022 remains undetermined.

Tuyen Dieu recently made history by winning the May Main Event this year, claiming his first Circuit ring and a prize of $287,230. This was the smallest of the four series each year, with a prize pool of $1,854,360. In contrast, the August series in 2022 had a prize pool of $2,198,265, with 1,451 entries.

For those who are interested in more than just poker, Harrah's Cherokee offers excellent dining options within its walls. The regional cuisine in the area includes Carolina BBQ, and the food truck scene near the resort is outstanding. For nature lovers, opportunities for hiking in the Smoky Mountains are plentiful.
