On January 1, 2012, The Bicycle Casino will be the newest stop on The World Series of Poker Circuit Tour, kicking off the year with a wide spectrum of events spread over 19 days. Poker aficionados will appreciate the diverse schedule and flock to the Bicycle Casino luxurious and spacious Event Center to play popular games like No Limit Hold’em, 2-7 Triple Draw, Badugi, Stud and Omaha with buy-ins starting as low as $150 to as much as $1,600, and everything in between.
The one thing that the Bicycle Casino has to offer that few casinos on the WSOP Circuit Tour can is the Live at the Bike live stream. Several of the WSOP-C ring event tables will be streamed live, with a 1 hour delay, on liveatthebike.com. Not to be confused with a boring static stream, Live at the Bike boasts hole card graphics and the action will be analyzed by commentators Bart Hanson, David Tuckman, Nichoel Jurgens and Adam Strohl who will also be interacting with the viewing audience though social media.
The WSOP Circuit Tour begins with the $345 No Limit Hold’em Re-entry Event, that allows players eliminated in Day 1A to re-enter on Day 1B for a second chance opportunity to win the first WSOP ring of the year. Other key events on the schedule are the $555 6-Max No Limit Hold’em event, the $345 Omaha 8 or Better event and the $1080 No Limit Hold’em event.

The $1,600 Main Event Championship is a three day event slated for January 10, 2012, with re-entry available during the evening flight on Day 1. Not only will the main event winner receive a coveted WSOP diamond encrusted ring, he or she will receive an automatic entry into the National Championship at the end of the season.
Poker Netcast will be streaming Nine of the 12 Ring Events on Live at the Bike. Bart Hanson, Dave Tuckman, Nichoel Jurgens, Adam Strohl, Scott Seligson and Marie-Lizette Acoba will all be on hand to provide commentary and interview the finalists.
