News Release: Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort Cancels April WSOP Event

Due to recommendations by health officials regarding Covid19 concerns, Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort announces the cancellation of its April Circuit Events.

“Given the rapidly evolving situation, and out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to cancel the April WSOP Circuit Event” said Brooks Robinson, Regional Senior Vice President and General Manager of Harrah’s Cherokee Casinos. “We look forward to hosting our next WSOP event in August and hope that customers who had planned to be here in April will visit us then.”
