The 2005-06 Circuit begins August 11 at Grand Casino Tunica and includes events at 11 Harrah’s casinos in venues such as Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New Orleans, Biloxi, Miss., and Lake Tahoe.
Each Circuit stop will offer several tournaments with buy-ins ranging from a few hundred dollars to us$ 10,000 for the no-limit hold’em Circuit Championship.

Winners of the 12 upcoming Circuit us$ 10,000 buy-in finales will join the final nine players from the 2005 WSOP Main Event and six sponsors’ exemptions for a 27-player TOC shootout.
In addition, each player who makes the final table of the 2006 TOC will win money. First prize will be us$ 1 million, second us$ 325,000, third us$ 250,000, fourth us$ 150,000, fifth us$ 100,000, sixth us$ 75,000, seventh us$ 50,000 and eighth and ninth us$ 25,000.
