WSOP International Circuit Announces November Stop in Aruba

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) International Circuit is heading to Aruba! The alluring Caribbean island is set to host 11 days of poker action, running from November 14-24.

Players from all over the globe will compete in 10 events at The Casino Aruba at the Hilton Caribbean Resort. The main highlight of the tournament is the $1,700 Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of $250,000. All events will award the winner with the much-coveted gold ring.

The entire schedule covers a variety of poker formats and variants, including No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE), Deepstack, NLHE 8-Max, Monster Stack, Turbo and Pot Limit Omaha.

There are mega satellites running each day, scheduled at 12pm, with the majority of the events allowing re-entry. Buy-ins range from as low as $65 all the way up to the highest price of $1,700 (Main Event).

The $250,000-guaranteed Main Event takes place on November 21-23. It is originally a two-day event but it might extend to three days if needed, with the winner to be crowned on November 24.

Preparations are in full swing and more updates will be announced soon.
