The world of live poker was abruptly halted, and for the foreseeable future interrupted, by the COVID-19 pandemic. For the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOP Circuit), which had to cancel a dozen events, that's resulted in calling an audible for the season-ending Global Casino Championship (GCC).
Originally the GCC was set to take place at Harrah’s Cherokee from August 11-13, but now due to social distancing limitations, the event is moving online to WSOP.com on September 13.
All of the players who’ve qualified – including those who either won WSOP Circuit Main Events, Casino Championships or are currently in the top 50 points earners on the overall leaderboard – will be extended an invitation, though participants will need to be in either Nevada or New Jersey to play.
