It will mark the second time in two years that the legendary Southern California casino will host the Tournament of Champions, an exciting kickoff to the WSOP summer festival in Las Vegas.
“We are happy to return to The Commerce Casino & Hotel for the WSOP Tournament of Champions and our 15th consecutive $1,000,000 freeroll,” WSOP Chief Executive Officer Ty Stewart said in a press release. “With a $2 million guaranteed Circuit Main Event, WSOP satellites and nonstop action at the world’s biggest poker room, this is like the opening ceremonies for the 2025 WSOP.”
The final table of the 2025 Tournament of Champions will be live-streamed on YouTube. Additional details about the live stream will be announced in the coming weeks.
Last Time at Commerce
Last year’s Tournament of Champions attracted 559 runners from around the world as Dong Meng won his second bracelet and $200,000 and he defeated runner-up Kevin Will ($120,000).
The final table also included Nathan Wasson (3rd - $87,000), Rick Gebhart (4th - $63,000) and Cody Bell (5th - $46,000).
“The Commerce is thrilled to be welcoming back the WSOP Circuit Finals, as well as the T.O.C., both of which are such prestigious events,” said Commerce Tournament Director Cavin Quintanilla. “It takes a dedicated team to deliver legendary customer service and I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with these two iconic brands.
