Playground publishes its WSOP Circuit schedule: 18 rings, a $2,500 Main Event and a $5,000 High Roller

The November WSOP Circuit stop at Playground near Montreal now has a full card. Eighteen ring events run from 2 to 16 November 2026, opening with a six-flight $400 Mini Main Event and closing with a $1,000 mystery bounty, with the $2,500 Main Event and a $5,000 High Roller finishing together on the last day.

When we first wrote up Playground's second WSOP festival of the autumn, WSOP had announced the dates and nothing else. The Kahnawake room has now put the whole schedule on its own tournament calendar, and it is a broad one: eighteen ring events between 2 and 16 November 2026, with buy-ins from $400 to $5,000.

The festival opens the way the room's Super Circuit did in August and September, with volume. Event #1 is a $400 Mini Main Event given six Day 1 flights across the first week, every one of them starting at 11:00, with a single Day 2 on 8 November. Eight of the eighteen events cost $400, so a player can spend a fortnight at the room without ever going above that number.

The headline events sit in the second week. The $1,000 Colossus, borrowing the WSOP's best-known big-field brand, runs three Day 1s from 9 November. The $2,500 Main Event follows with three flights of its own from the 12th, a Day 2 on the 15th and a Day 3 on the 16th. Sharing that closing day is the $5,000 Mega Stack High Roller, double the Main Event's price and the dearest buy-in of the stop.

The rest of the card is mostly knockouts — three mystery bounties, two progressive bounties and a straight bounty — plus a $600 Pot Limit Omaha, a $400 seniors event for players 50 and over, a $400 ladies event, and a closing $400 mix of Pot Limit Omaha and hold'em played with three lives, the format Playground runs weekly all year. Satellites feed the two biggest fields: $150 into the Colossus and $300 into the Main Event, the latter running repeatedly from 6 November and up to three times a day as the event nears.

One small discrepancy is worth noting for anyone booking travel. WSOP's own festival page gave the window as 2 to 17 November when we read it on 12 September; Playground's calendar lists no events at all on the 17th, which makes the 16th the last scheduled day.
