TULSA, Okla. — Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa is set to crown its newest poker champion as the World Series of Poker heads into town for its Hard Rock Tulsa circuit March 4-16.
The tournament consists of 39 events over 13 days, including the No Limit Hold’em Championship event beginning on Friday, March 13, and concluding on Monday, March 16. The stop features 15 official WSOP Circuit Ring events, including two Seniors No Limit Hold’em events and a ladies’ event for a total of 18 rings. Event buy-ins range from $140 to $1,700. Satellite qualifier buy-ins range from $100 to $250, with a new Landmark Mega event.
WSOP Circuit Events are a series of poker tournaments hosted throughout the United States and the world. For the first time in its history, the 2026 WSOP Circuit season will follow a calendar year schedule, running from January through December. The popular Hard Rock Tulsa circuit will deliver an action-packed schedule that will culminate in the No Limit Hold’em Championship, where the winner will go on to represent the circuit at the 2026 WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas.
In March 2025, Arroyo Grande, California, native John Dollinger beat out a field of 487 and secured the top spot in Hard Rock Tulsa’s Main Event. Dollinger earned his first WSOP Circuit ring and $147,178, his highest cash win after winning runner-up in a WSOPC Main Event in New Orleans in 2016.
Players can qualify for 2026 WSOP Paradise in several ways: a) win a Circuit Main Event at any domestic or international stop; b) win a Casino Championship, which is defined as the player at each stop who accumulates the most points throughout the 12-event gold ring schedule at any domestic or international stop; or c) be one of the top 50 cumulative point-earners over the entire season who hasn’t otherwise qualified (domestic tour only).
Guests must be at least 21 years old to play.
