Michigan also getting a Circuit Series
WSOP.com launched its Michigan online poker site last week and players will also have a shot at championship rings. The series also runs April 20 – May 1 with $350,000 in guaranteed and 12 ring events planned. WSOP.com hasn’t released a complete schedule however.
Players in Michigan received some additional good news this week. The state is joining the interstate compact with New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware.
