Win a Circuit Ring at the Horseshoe Las Vegas
With 18 rings up for grabs, there is plenty of variety in the way players can earn themselves a WSOPC ring. While the Main Event is undoubtedly the big attraction, there are plenty of other events worth playing and watching.
The $3,300 High Roller and the $2,200 High Roller are the biggest buy in event of the series, and should attract the toughest competition.
At the other end of the spectrum, players can enjoy the thrill of tournament play for just $250 in Event #17 which will be an unlimited rebuy event with short, 20-minute blind levels.
There are also three closed field events �� two for seniors and one for the ladies �� and five non-hold'em events including two pot limit Omaha events and a $600 H.O.R.S.E game.
Other highlights include the $1,125 Mystery Bounty and the Race to the Ring event �� a $400 no-limit hold'em tournament with three Day 1 flights and a $100,000 guarantee.

Pantaleo was running hot during the entire festival, having final tabled both of the high-roller events �� he took fourth in the $2,200 High Roller Event and eighth in the $3,300 High Roller event. So, winning a Main Event ring was just the icing on an already profitable cake.
