The World Series of Poker Circuit tour is widely popular among low and mid stakes tournament grinders. Each year, a number of events are hosted at various stops around the world, mostly in the United States. At each stop, a dozen or so events take place, and the winner in each tournament receives a shiny gold ring.

During the 2020 season, the WSOP was forced to cancel its remaining events starting in March due to COVID-19. With the virus continuing to spread, and over 350,000 dead in the US, hosting major poker events remains an issue. Ty Stewart, the WSOP’s Executive Director, told CardsChat News he isn’t yet ready to cancel out hosting live Circuit events in 2021 despite revealing plans for online Circuit events throughout the year.
