The World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Horseshoe Baltimore $1,675 Main Event was held at the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore in Maryland, with 449 players helping to create a prize pool worth $673,500. One of the players competing was Arkansas native Mike Cordell, who would eventually go on to win the tournament to claim a third career WSOPC ring, as well as a first place prize of $148,171.
Back in 2008, Cordell won the WSOPC Caesars Indiana $550 event for $21,274, and this year the WSOPC $365 Pot-Limit Omaha event for $14,661. In 2016, he also captured a coveted WSOP bracelet at the $1,500 NLHE 6-Handed event for $346,088. Following his latest winning performance in Baltimore, which pushes his career earnings to $780,814 and leapfrogs him from 6th to 4th on the Arkansas ‘All Time Money List’, Cordell, obviously fully still in poker mode, commented:
“I won the tournament, so it feels good. I know I don’t show it, but I’m ecstatic.”
The WSOPC Horseshoe Baltimore Main Event offered 45 money spots, and amongst the recognizable pros seeing a return on their buy-ins was Dennis Phillips in 42nd ($3,044), Alex Ziskin in 37th ($3,044), Ryan Jones in 36th ($3,354), and Andrew Brokos in 22nd ($5,570).
Mike Cordell subsequently entered the final table in pole position, but faced tough competition in the guise of WSOPC Harrah’s Cherokee champion Vanessa Truong, and 10-times WSOPC winner Maurice Hawkins.
Cordell (J-J) then sent Richard Smith (A-K) to the rail in 8th, followed by Robert Garrett in 4th, and Jeremy Stein in 3rd to take a more than 4-1 chip lead over Alex Queen into the final phase of the competition. Queen then looked set to make a comeback after getting his last 30bbs all-in preflop with A-A against his opponent’s K-J, but Cordell subsequently hit a king-high straight to wrap up his impressive victory.
Final Table Results:
1: Mike Cordell $148,171
2: Alex Queen $91,562
3: Jeremy Stein $66,905
4: Robert Garrett $49,667
5: Vanessa Truong $37,460
6: Joshua Vizcarra $28,671
7: Maurice Hawkins $22,266
8: Richard Smith $17,538
9: Ryan Tamanini $14,009

The World Series of Poker Circuit wrapped up its 2017/18 season – which catered to 133,892 entries and awarded $66,585,658 in prize money – last weekend in New Orleans. Now, a week before the 2018 WSOP gets underway, they’ve announced the schedule for the 2018/19 season.

The fifteenth season of the WSOPC features a record 28 stops, offers more starting chips, and will introduce both new price points and the big blind ante. The new season will kick off on August 2 at Harrah’s Cherokee and once again ends at Harrah's New Orleans in May 2019.

The schedule features two stops at both Chicago’s Horseshoe Hammond and Horseshoe Tunica, while Horseshoe Baltimore has been dropped. Additionally, last year’s stop at Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida will now be held at their Seminole Coconut Creek location.

Some Circuit Changes for 2018/19

Another change is $365 buy-in events being increased to $400, and the Main Event jumping from $1,675 to $1,700. Those increased price points will come with a bigger starting stack. Instead of 10,000 in chips, the $400 events will jump to 15,000, and instead of 20K the Main Event will start players with 30K.

Buy-ins for the upcoming season will include $250, $400, $600, $1,125, and $1,700, with various High Roller events being either $2,200, 3,250 or $5,300. Some events will also incorporate the big blind ante format.

“Everyone loves more starting chips, and we think things like the Big Blind Ante and larger prize pools will be big hits for all players.”

“For our fifteenth season, the time was right to take a hard look at our offering and refreshing it to give players a better experience all around,” said WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel. “Everyone loves more starting chips, and we think things like the Big Blind Ante and larger prize pools will be big hits for all players.”

Once again, each stop will qualify two players – the Main Event winner and overall Casino Champ – into the Global Casino Championship while awarding everyone else precious points towards the leaderboard.

Each stop is also encouraged to offer both Seniors and Ladies events, which will award rings but not count toward the Global Casino Championship standings.

WSOP confirmed that the WSOP International Circuit will return, though the schedule for that won’t be released until a future date. One new stop that’s already known is at Montreal’s Playground Poker Club from August 23 to September 4, 2018. Below is a look at the current U.S. circuit schedule. Stops may be added or adjusted as needed.
