Past Success
The WSOPC always draws a crowd to the Bicycle Casino. Back in December 2018, the WSOP Circuit was a big success with the Main Event drawing 547 entries. The prize pool was over $828,000 and it was Steven Spunt who earned the win. The first-place finish marked the second time the poker player had won a gold ring and he was able to take home just over $174,000 for his efforts.
