The World Series of Poker is an annual series of poker tournaments. The main bracelet events are played in the Las Vegas area. A bracelet is the prize that marks a winner of one of those events. Circuit stops in other cities award their own prizes and are not the main bracelet schedule.
What a Bracelet Event Is
- A scheduled tournament. One event in the annual series, with its own buy-in and its own winner.
- A bracelet. Given to that event’s winner.
- A circuit stop. A tournament in another city. It is related, and it is not a main bracelet event.
