World Series Of Poker Circuit Turning Stone Resort Casino Kicks Off March 12

18-Event Series Runs March 12-23 With Over $2.5 Million In Guaranteed Prize Money


Turning Stone Resort Casino will host New York’s only World Series of Poker Circuit stop for the fifth straight year, with the series running March 12-23. There will be 18 WSOPC gold rings awarded during the festival, with over $2.5 million in guaranteed prize pools along the way. Ring winners will also take home a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package featuring entry and accommodations to the Circuit Championship at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas in December.

While all 18 events feature a guarantee, one stands apart: the $1,000,000 guaranteed $1,700 WSOPC no-limit main event slated to run March 19- 23. This tournament drew 1,183 total entries in 2025, resulting in a final prize pool of nearly $1.8 million. Taylor Hart earned his third career WSOPC ring and $289,770 as the champion.

The second-largest guarantee on the schedule is the $500,000 promised in the $400 buy-in mini main event (March 12-15). The tournament has four starting flights to choose from, and last year attracted over 3,000 entries to more than double the guarantee. Jacob Hamed took home $122,847 as the last player standing.
