The dates have been set and it is now official that the 2023 World Series of Poker Online Super Circuit Series will be happening in New Jersey from October 5 to October 22. The events of the tournament will be aired live on WSOP.com for all poker fans to follow from anywhere in the world. With a guaranteed prize pool of $1.4 million, this major online poker event is so far the largest this year.
Serious poker players have by now understood the importance of this event to their progression in the game and advancement of gaming skills. Like in 2024, the “tournament of champions” has been lined up and a huge number of participants will be winners of the 2023 and 2024 WSOP tournaments. Just the thought of making it to this grand event should be enough to push poker players to give their best performance.
Players that will make it to the top of the leaderboard as winners will not only be awarded a grand payday but will be additionally crowned with an exclusive WSOP ring. As online poker players gear up for this huge event, the focus for everyone is the 18 championship rings available for winners of the various events – this is an increase from the regular 12 tournaments of the event.
The tournaments lined up on the WSOP schedule are part of a shared pool market of players that comprise online poker players from Nevada and NJ. While it is already confirmed that Pennsylvania and Michigan are going to run similar events, the nature of tournaments and prize pools could be different.

The Main Event of $200,000
The main event of the 2023 WSOP series or NJ will be held on October 22. Players are supposed to part with a $525 buy-in to earn entry into the finale that promises $200,000 in guaranteed winnings. The tournament is going to last for one full day and its end will signify the rise of a new breed of winners and poker title holders. The main format of the games that will be played within the tournament will be No Limit Hold’em type games but there is the exception of one Pot Limit Omaha format game slotted into the schedule.
As per the schedule, each of the tournaments has been given a date and a time together with the buy-in prize that qualifies one for play. The lowest buy-in prize is $215 for an NHL event while the highest is $500 for a PLO contest. This investment is considered low by players who are eyeing the ultimate prize of a bracelet. The poker players of New Jersey are free to compete for the much-coveted prize of a WSOP bracelet.
In addition to the regular events lined up in the schedule, there are stand-out bracelets that will be awarded to players excelling in the $400 events. There are also high-roller tournaments with a buy-in of up to $5,300. Other special bracelet events that stand out from the tournament include the $888 NLHE Crazy and the $1,500 NLHE Bounty. For a detailed breakdown of the events, players can head to WSOP.com.
The motivation to take part in the current tournament is fuelled by the goodies obtained from competing in a similar poker tournament last month. Some players from New Jersey enjoyed the month, particularly for the solid payday they received. If collecting hardware is a focus for any of the participants registered for the upcoming tournament, the WSOP is the right place to be. Online bracelet events and online circuit series provide the best and most convenient gaming environment for those who want tangible rewards.
Some of the people who took part and won in the 2023 Garden State of September can be divided into two categories; ring winners and bracelet winners. Each of these bands had 3 awardees and the cash prize ranged between $21,209 and $54,042. The tournament of champions is now back and all poker players with a hint of strategy and gameplay are willing to take a shot at the grand prize. For the new players, this is an opportunity to gauge their skills and match their abilities alongside seasoned online gaming professionals. With the announcement of the WSOP schedule, the long-awaited $1 Million Freeroll has made a comeback.
What does winning a bracelet or ring mean? Every player that earns either of these prizes has their spot at the 2024 WSOP Tournament of Champions secured. The mention of the $1 million freeroll obviously arouses some level of excitement among industry stakeholders and the good news is that there will be no discriminatory requirements for participants. Whether a player earned their ring or bracelet from an in-person or online match, their entry into the prestigious event of 2024 is a guarantee.
It is still too early to speculate on the exact dates when the 2024 WSOP will be taking place – what is known for sure is that it will be running concurrently with the 2024 live series of the World Series of Poker planned for Las Vegas. Only a few months remain until the close of 2023, so potential winners of the 2024 events better start preparing for the tournament of champions. News from the WSOP platform reveals that champions of the 2023-24 WSOP Online International and Europe WSOP events will equally get an opportunity to enter the competition.
Conclusion
The WSOP has grown into a respectable and prestigious poker championship that every poker player strives to be associated with.
