Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. today said ESPN will provide television coverage of the 2005-06 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit.

The second season of the WSOP Circuit features an expanded schedule of 12 stops at Harrah's casinos around the country, up from five Circuit events in the inaugural season. The 2005-06 Circuit begins this month at Grand Casino Tunica and includes events at Harrah's casinos in venues such as Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New Orleans, Biloxi, Miss., and Lake Tahoe.

Each stop on the 2005-06 Circuit will offer several tournaments with buy-ins ranging from a few hundred dollars to $10,000 for the no-limit hold'em Circuit Championship. The winner of the final event of each Circuit stop will qualify for the tour's grand finale, the 2006 World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions, which also will be telecast by ESPN.

"No one produces poker better than ESPN and we're thrilled to have it provide enhanced coverage of the expanded 2005-06 World Series of Poker Circuit," said Jeffrey Pollack, vice president of sports and entertainment marketing for Harrah's.
