Turning Stone Resort Casino will once again host New York’s sole World Series of Poker Circuit stop, marking its fifth consecutive year as the venue for the 2026 series, which runs March 12–23. The festival will award 18 WSOPC gold rings and feature over $2.5 million in guaranteed prize pools. Each ring winner will also receive a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package, granting entry and accommodations to the Circuit Championship at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas this December.
Highlight Events
The crown jewel of the series is the $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event, boasting a $1,000,000 guarantee from March 19–23. Last year, the tournament drew 1,183 entries, creating a final prize pool near $1.8 million, with Taylor Hart claiming his third career WSOPC ring and $289,770 in winnings.
The $400 Mini Main Event, running March 12–15, carries the second-largest guarantee at $500,000 and offers four starting flights. The 2025 edition attracted over 3,000 entries, more than doubling the guarantee, with Jacob Hamed taking home $122,847 as the champion.
