The return of the WSOPC marks another busy March for poker players in New York
The World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) is heading back to Turning Stone Resort Casino for the fifth year in a row. The New York stop runs March 12-23 and remains the state’s only Circuit series on the 2026 schedule.
Organizers have planned 18 gold ring events during the 12-day festival. More than $2.5 million in total guarantees are attached to the schedule. Each ring winner will also receive a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package that includes entry and accommodations for the Circuit Championship at Atlantis Paradise Island in December.
The marquee event is the $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event, which carries a $1 million guarantee. It runs March 19-23 and has historically drawn large fields. Last year’s edition attracted 1,183 entries and built a prize pool that climbed to nearly $1.8 million.
Taylor Hart captured that title, earning his third Circuit ring along with a $289,770 payday. The Main Event is expected to be the centerpiece again, drawing players from across the Northeast.
Another major attraction is the $400 Mini Main Event, which features a $500,000 guarantee and four starting flights. The tournament previously topped 3,000 entries, easily surpassing its posted prize pool.
The series is open to players 18 and older, offering opportunities for both seasoned grinders and newer competitors. All confirmed 2026 Circuit stops, including this one, will use the WSOP+ app to streamline registration, payouts, and live event updates.
