Two players at Bally’s will earn free entries (valued at $10,000 each) into the 2016 WSOP Global Casino Championship. The winner of the Main Event and the Casino Champion – the player who earns the most points throughout the 12 ring events – both get their tickets punched to this annual invitation-only tournament, which carries a minimum prize pool of $1,000,000.
A player's room rate is available for players who wish to stay in the Bally's hotel during the event.
The last time the WSOP Circuit stopped at Bally’s was 2005, in the Circuit’s second season. That year, Kido Pham won the Main Event for a first-place of $453,456. He bested a star-studded final table that included two WSOP Main Event champions – Joe Hachem and Scotty Nguyen – as well as JC Tran, who would go on to make a November Nine in 2013.
