The WSOP Circuit Baltimore $1,700 Main Event gets underway at 11 a.m. local time at the Horseshoe Casino with the first of two starting flights.

The last WSOP Circuit Baltimore Main Event was back in May 2018 and it was Mike Jukich, from Lynchburg, VA who took it down after topping a field of 513 competitors. He collected the first-place prize of $165,438 as well as his first Circuit ring.

This event features two starting flights and there is a $500,000 guarantee in the prize pool. Players will start with 30,000 in chips and they will have the option of one re-entry per flight, equaling a maximum of four entries.
Day 1 will play through 16 levels or down to 16% of the field, whichever comes first. Levels 1 to 15 will be of 40 minutes each and levels 16+ will be of 60 minutes. There will be a 15-minute break every three levels and a 60-minute dinner break at the completion of Level 9. Registration will remain open until the start of Level 13.
