The summer bracelet series is wrapping up, but the live tournament calendar is already moving into a packed stretch of Circuit and World Poker Tour stops. Here is what poker players should have on their radar for the weeks ahead.
WSOP Circuit action rolls through August
The official WSOP schedule lists a busy run of domestic and international Circuit events. Harrah’s Cherokee opens August 6 and runs through August 17, followed by Harrah’s Atlantic City from August 13–24 and Horseshoe Tunica from August 20–31.
Atlantic City’s schedule includes a $1,700 Main Event with a $600,000 guarantee, alongside a Mini Main, Monster Stack, Big O, Pot-Limit Omaha, Ladies Event and High Roller. Players can review the full Atlantic City event schedule on WSOP.com.
The month closes with two more major starts on August 26: the WSOP Super Circuit Canada at Playground and the WSOP Circuit at Hard Rock Tulsa. Playground’s first Super Circuit stop is especially notable, with WSOP announcing a CAD $5,000 Main Event carrying a CAD $10 million guarantee.
WPT prepares for Cambodia and Cyprus
The World Poker Tour has two championship events arriving almost back-to-back. WPT Cambodia runs a festival from August 12–24, highlighted by the August 20–24 Passport to the World Championship. The championship has a $1,300 buy-in and a $500,000 guarantee.
The WPT Cyprus Championship follows August 19–24 at Chamada Prestige Hotel & Spa. Its $3,500 championship event is scheduled with a $2 million guarantee.
September brings major U.S. and international stops
WPT returns to the United States for the bestbet Scramble Championship in Jacksonville from September 4–9. The $5,000 championship carries a $1 million guarantee.
Australia follows later in the month, with WPT Prime Australia and the WPT Australia Championship at The Star Sydney. The official WPT event schedule lists the Prime championship in mid-September and the $5,000 Main Tour championship beginning September 23.
A new chapter after the WSOP Main Event
The 2026 WSOP Main Event finale concludes August 5 after a field of 9,208 players produced a final table with $10 million awaiting the champion. Once the winner is crowned, attention quickly shifts from Las Vegas to the regional and international tours that keep tournament poker moving year-round.
Schedules, guarantees and structures can change. Always confirm the latest details with the official tour and host venue before making travel plans.
