LAS VEGAS, July 31 — Harrah’s will launch the fourth season of its popular World Series of Poker Circuit with an expanded schedule of 12 tournament stops that will bring high-stakes poker action and excitement to players at nine Harrah’s casinos around the country.

“Strong customer demand prompted us to add another event to the Circuit schedule,” said WSOP(TM) Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack. “Each event brings the thrills and excitement of the WSOP to poker players at the local and regional level.”

Players who win the $5,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’Em Circuit championship at any host property will receive a seat in the 2008 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas. Each Circuit stop offers events with affordable buy-ins and even lower- priced satellites, which award winners seats in official events for a fraction of the official buy-in.

The 2007-08 World Series of Poker Circuit begins Aug. 29, 2007, at Grand Casino Tunica and includes stops at Harrah’s casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New Orleans, Indiana, Iowa and California.

Beginning November 2 at Caesars Indiana, Bluff Media will provide live internet television hole-card coverage of final-table play at each Circuit Main Event. The coverage will be available at the WSOP website.
