Fixed Limit Hot Seat
Fixed limit games don’t usually make the blood pump through your veins. However, between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. each night, limit games on WSOP.com will do just that.
Play fixed limit games for your chance at a share of $3000. Sometime during that three-hour window, a randomly-chosen fixed limit table will award bonus money to every player seated during the prize hand.
Players can win up to $100, though the exact disbursement will be random. Bonus money will hit the players’ accounts within 72 hours of the win.
Happy Hours October Challenge
Players can score big every night between 8 p.m. and 12 a.m. In fact, WSOP has improved the Happy Hours promotion by giving players two options for how they want to proceed.
The first option is simple. Players can earn double APPs during the four-hour period.
The second option offers many more rewards, but players must qualify for them first. To qualify, players must either play three days in a Happy Hours week during the promo time, or must wager at least $100 during a qualifying week.
However, once players meet the requirements, they will receive either a $1 BLAST tournament ticket, a $5 BLAST tournament ticket, or $100 in cash. The exact prize will remain a mystery until it is received, but a guaranteed prize is in sight for every player on WSOP.com in New Jersey.
All the leaderboards are back
WSOP.com rewards players who are loyal and frequent. As a result, there will be four leaderboards for players during the month of October.
The four boards are High-Low, Turbo SNG, BLAST, and APP. Each board will track player points throughout the month.
Players who find themselves at the top of one or more boards will receive great prizes, like cash or tournament tickets. The only limitation players have is the time they can play.
WSOP Nevada Promotions
Fall Poker Festival
From October 8 until October 15, Nevada players can take a shot at $90,000 in guaranteed prize pools. Eight different events are there for the taking, including the main event.
The main event is in a class of its own. A $200 buy-in no-limit hold’em event, players will vie for their share of a guaranteed $45,000 and a WSOP Champion’s Ring.
Here’s a list of the events:
| Tournament Name | Buy-in | Date | Start Time |
| $20,000 GTD NLHE Re-Entry | $200 | October 8 | 4:30 PM |
| $3,000 GTD PLO R&A | $30 | October 9 | 6:00 PM |
| $7,500 GTD NLHE R&A | $50 | October 10 | 6:00 PM |
| $3,000 GTD NLHE Freezeout | $20 | October 11 | 6:00 PM |

WSOP Circuit Lake Tahoe
The WSOP Circuit will be a Harvey’s in Lake Tahoe on November 3. Satellites for the $1,675 Main Event will run for $30 on WSOP.com beginning on October 29.
Each satellite will have a guaranteed main event seat. Players who win multiple satellites can use their tickets for re-entry or convert them into $1,675 tournament tickets on WSOP.com. WSOP.com is the only way to qualify for this event online.
Leaderboards are all over the place
Not to be outdone by its New Jersey cousin, WSOP Nevada offers five different leaderboards to reward players for their loyalty and consistency. The most prominent of these is the High-Low Leaderboard.
The High-Low leaderboard is unique in that it recognizes both players who excel during the qualifying weeks and players who struggle during the same timeframe. Each week, WSOP NV will give out over $2,000 in cash and prizes to the top players who opt into the promotion AND to players who have hit the roughest patch.
In doing so, players will find their good luck augmented, but their bad luck softened. As with any good game, the goal is to keep players playing, and hopefully, to turn things around if a player finds himself in a tough spot.
Payouts for winners will be from $20 to $300 on the High side, and anything from $100 in tournament tickets to WSOP swag on the Low side. Each week will have a new leaderboard.
Otherwise, players can also take part in the Short-handed leaderboards, the SNG leaderboards, the Turn the Tables leaderboards, and the Fixed Limit leaderboards. All of these boards will run until October 30.
Wrapping it all up
October is a fine month to play poker. The cooler weather and the softening light make a game more pleasant for everyone.
WSOP.com is making the prospect of playing even sweeter for players in New Jersey and Nevada. Make sure you hit the tables, and get in on the great promotions as soon as possible.
