WSOP just announced there circuit schedule for next year and they upped the amount to 12 this time. The big thing I noticed is that some of them are held during the same time as some WPT events. Since alot of pros have started following the big buyin (TV) events around, which one will they choose. I could see this becoming a HUGE war between the two groups as to who can attract the most entrys and names. Look at these schedules and compare.
