WSOP Circuit Returns to Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe
The Stateline poker series runs October 22 – November 2, 2026, with buy-ins beginning at $400.
Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe’s Poker Room in Stateline will host a stop on the 2026 World Series of Poker Circuit Tour. Running from October 22 through November 2, the series will take place at the property formerly known as Harveys. Its tournament schedule covers every major poker variation and is designed to include recreational and amateur players.
Buy-ins begin at $400, offering a lower-cost route into a WSOP competition compared with its Las Vegas tournament. For Lake Tahoe visitors, the Circuit stop means nearly two weeks of poker at a single Stateline venue, with different formats spread across the series.
The tour leads to a National Championship shown on ESPN. Its winner receives $1 million and a WSOP gold bracelet. The larger WSOP dates to 1970. In 2009, its Las Vegas event drew 60,875 participants representing 115 countries, while the total prize payout exceeded $174 million. Those figures provide context for the poker organization bringing the Circuit event to Lake Tahoe.
