The World Series of Poker Global Casino Championship was hosted at Harrah’s Cherokee for the fifth straight year. This exclusive invite-only event had a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000 and each Circuit Main Event winner and Casino Champion received a free seat while all Top 50 players from the domestic US tour receive free entry as well.
