The 2016/17 World Series of Poker Circuit schedule hopes to expand its international presence with 13 planned stops outside of the US, the greatest number in the tour’s history.

For 11-years the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) was instrumental in spreading the gospel of the largest festival in the world by dropping anchor in all corners of America, offering buy-ins ranging from $365 – $1,675.

Something changed during the 12th season. Nobody likes changed. It seems this one, however, worked out quite nicely. WSOP officials decided that it wasn’t much of a World Series of Poker Circuit festival if it never visited the World.

The tour had a makeover. They included five international stops in Marrakech, Montreal, Campione, Tbilisi, and Rozvadov. The latter event attracted 715 runners for the €1,650 Main Event, and also organised a €3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller, and a €25,000 Super High Roller. Overall, the Main Events at the international stops averaged 536 entrants. It was evident; the world wanted to see more of the WSOPC.
