WSOP Circuit Returns to Horseshoe Baltimore with 18-Event Series Starting Feb. 19

Horseshoe Baltimore is hosting an 18-event stop on the World Series of Poker Circuit from Feb. 19 through March 2, bringing ring events, satellites, and a marquee $500,000-guaranteed Main Event to the city. The series is part of the 2026 WSOP Circuit season, which offers players circuit rings, cash prizes, and chances to qualify for larger WSOP tournaments.

The highlight at Horseshoe Baltimore is the $500,000-guaranteed, $1,700 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em WSOP Circuit Main Event. Organizers scheduled three Day One flights for the Main Event: Flight A on Thursday, Feb. 26 at 11:00 AM, Flight B on Friday, Feb. 27 at 11:00 AM, and Flight C on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 11:00 AM. The multiple-flight structure gives Baltimore-area players and visitors repeated chances to enter the Main Event during the run.

Alongside the Main Event, the Horseshoe Baltimore series includes a circuit Leaderboard that will award a $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat to the overall winner. Players competing at Horseshoe Baltimore can earn points toward that official series Leaderboard, with the broader season offering opportunities to advance toward marquee stops such as WSOP Paradise 2026.

Several lower-buy-in favorites are on the schedule, including the $400 No-Limit Hold’em Mini Main, the $400 No-Limit Hold’em 40/40/40, and the $400 No-Limit Hold’em Ladies Event. The multi-day festival also includes satellites, which are listed among the series’ offerings; specific satellite dates and structures were not included in the public summary provided for the stop.

Locally notable, Baltimore native Aaron Pinson enters the Horseshoe Baltimore series as the defending WSOP Circuit Main Event champion. Pinson won the most recent Baltimore Main Event in October 2025, claiming his second WSOP Circuit ring and a first-place prize of $102,668 after also winning a ring earlier in that same October series.

WSOP materials encourage players to review the full Horseshoe Baltimore WSOP Circuit series schedule before play begins, noting the variety of ring events and opportunities across the Feb. 19–Mar. 2 window. With the Main Event flights set for Feb. 26–28 at 11:00 AM and a six-figure guarantee on the line, the series is positioned to draw both local cardrooms regulars and out-of-town entrants through the end of the run on March 2.
