History is about to deal the cards in Uruguay. For the first time, the World Series of Poker Circuit will land in Montevideo, where the majestic Casino Carrasco will host an unprecedented stop for regional poker. It will take place from May 18 to 25, in a week that promises high-voltage action, figures from all over Latin America, and the unmistakable shine of the 12 official WSOP Circuit rings. The agenda has been revealed.
This is not just another festival. The arrival of poker’s most powerful brand in the heart of the Uruguayan capital represents a giant step for the local and South American scene. Each champion, in addition to lifting one of the coveted gold rings, will earn their entry to the exclusive Tournament of Champions, where winners from the circuit’s entire global season gather.
This is what WSOP Circuit Montevideo will look like
Now, with the calendar already on the table, the event is starting to look like a massive hit. The agenda will open on Monday, May 18, with the first flights of the Mini Main Event, a US$500 tournament that will have four starting days and a final on Wednesday the 20th, positioning itself as one of the most attractive options for those seeking volume, a large field, and a significant prize without having to fire at the main event buy-in.
That same start will be spicy with the US$2.000 One Day High Roller and a US$300 Turbo KO to close the day with chips flying.
The festival will continue to raise the temperature with events such as the US$3.000 2-Day High Roller, the US$600 Mystery Bounty, an always tempting US$800 Freezeout Deepstack, and offerings with their own flavor like the Win The Button Turbo KO, ideal for those who enjoy dynamic structures and more aggressive formats.
But of course, all eyes will be on the main course: the US$1.700 Main Event, which will begin on Thursday, May 21, with multiple starting flights and culminate on Sunday the 24th. It will be the tournament seeking to crown the first great champion of WSOP Circuit Montevideo, in a luxury setting and with the symbolic weight of opening a new page in the circuit’s history in the region.

The final stretch of the festival will also be loaded with dynamite: the $1.500 Single Day KO, the Ring 500, the $800 Single Day NLH, the US$600 Second Chance, the US$5.000 Super High Roller, and even a Pot-Limit Omaha Dealer’s Choice tournament that adds variety to a very complete schedule. To top it off, Sunday will also bring the Closer, the US$2.000 Last Chance High Roller, and a US$300 Turbo for those who want to squeeze out every last chip of the trip.

Satellites and accommodation for Montevideo
Off the tables, the impact is already being felt. The Sofitel is already sold out, a clear sign of the expectation generated by this first edition. The remaining alternative is the Cottage hotel, priced at US$1.200 for seven nights with breakfast for two people, between May 18 and 25.
Additionally, GGPoker has already launched satellites from March 30 to May 10, with freerolls, daily qualifiers, and weekly finals. Montevideo is ready. And this time, the World Series will speak with a Rioplatense accent.
