WSOP Circuit returns to Paris
At the end of this year, a new poker club called Pierre Charron will open in Paris. It is located near the famous Champs-Élysées, and the club owners are going to host the WPT DeepStacks in February.
On October 30, the club announced the deal with the WSOP, according to which the WSOP Circuit series will be held at this poker club. This festival will return to the capital of France after a two-year hiatus – for the last time, the WSOP Circuit tournaments took place there in 2017.
