29 March 2024

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The richest, most prestigious and longest-running poker series – the World Series of Poker - announced its 2024 Tournament of Champions Schedule and details for the exciting conclusion to its 19th WSOP Circuit season. The 19th edition of the WSOP Circuit kicked off at Choctaw Casino Resort in Oklahoma immediately following the conclusion of the 2023 World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas. Following more than 25 stops, the WSOP-C now concludes with WSOP Circuit Los Angeles at The Commerce Casino & Hotel in Los Angeles, California from 10-24 May 2024, with $1.75 million in guarantees, headlined by the Tournament of Champions taking place on 22-24 May with a $1 million freeroll championship.

“For years, the Commerce has been the home of poker in Los Angeles and one of the leading card rooms in the world,” said Ty Stewart, Senior Vice President & Executive Director of the WSOP. “We look forward to kicking off our new strategic relationship with a special WSOP Circuit finale and the Tournament of Champions bracelet event. We also look forward to qualifying more players from Los Angeles for the WSOP Main Event than ever before.”

‘We are ecstatic to merge our strengths with the World Series of Poker,” said Spencer Villaseñor, Director of Guest Experience at The Commerce Casino & Hotel. “This collaboration marks the convergence of two giants in the poker world and presents endless possibilities. Together, we are committed to pushing boundaries and setting new standards of excellence in the industry.”

WSOP-C Los Angeles action at The Commerce Casino & Hotel kicks off with the $600 Housewarming No Limit Hold'em two-day ring event with a $500,000 guarantee. The tournament will also feature the traditional $1,700 WSOP-C Main Event with a $1 million guarantee and culminate with the highly anticipated $1 million freeroll Tournament of Champions that follows a similar format as the 2022-23 season. The final two days of action will be highlighted by last-chance satellites for players to win a $11,000 package featuring a full buy-in and a $1,000 travel stipend to compete in the 2024 WSOP Main Event at Horseshoe Las Vegas.

Other marquee events that will take place at WSOP-C Los Angeles include the $1,100 Mystery Bounty No Limit Hold'em with $100,000 guaranteed, the $2,200 High Roller No Limit Hold'em event, as well as two specialty events, the $400 Pot-Limit Omaha and $400 H.O.R.S.E.
