Castro is a perfect example of how accessible the World Series of Poker Circuit can be.

There will be multiple seniors events and a ladies event, as well as big-money games like the “The Gargantuan” with a $100,000 prize pool. The main event, with a $1 million prize pool, will be held at 11 a.m. on Nov. 3, 4 and 5.
