Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort’s stunning architecture.In 1813, the brave Cherokee leader Junaluska became a hero. He regretted it forever. Over a hundred Native Americans were recruited by him to join Andrew Jackson’s fight against the Creek Indians. Junaluska swam across the Tallapoosa River, took the Creek’s canoes and helped win the battle. Then he made the fateful move that sealed his people’s future. He saved Andrew Jackson’s life.
Jerry Wolfe, Cherokee Nation’s “Most Beloved Man” next to a statue of himself as a younger man.“If I had known that Jackson would drive us from our homes, I would have killed him that day…” he later said. By then he’d survived the Trail of Tears, a 2,200 forced march from North Carolina to Oklahoma and two escapes that finally ended when he walked all the way home. His lineage continues near Cherokee, N.C., a 5 hour drive from Charleston, where many geographic places bear his name. His great-great grand daughter-inlaw is Faye Junaluska who perpetuates the Cherokee culture through her work as a weaver, teacher, elected leader and interpreter. Her first language was Sequoyah. Surrounded by beautiful displays at the Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual in Cherokee, NC she told me the story of her childhood. She and her siblings learned the Cherokee craft of basket weaving from their grandmother Lydia Squirrel.“You have to go into the woods, find your tree,” she explained. “It must be a white oak, walnut, blood root or yellow root tree about ten to twelve years old. You have to take the whole tree down, split the trunk, quarter it into sections, split it into strips, scrape it and dye it using the leaves, roots and bark.” It’s hard, frustrating work. “Making baskets with grandma, I threw many across the floor,” she remembered.
Cherokee art from Harrah’s extensive collection.Now her blistered, calloused hands work competently. The shelves of the art center contain a multitude of authentic, museum quality creations that provide an antidote to the world of anonymous, disposable souvenirs.At the Cherokee Museum nearby, I was greeted by the striking appearance of Jerry Wolfe. His long grey braid, cowboy hat, weathered face and beaded bolo necktie attracted me. In 2013 he was named the Cherokee nation’s “Most Beloved Man.”
A Cherokee basket pattern.It was the first time since 1801 that the title had been bestowed. He was recognized by museum archivist Bo Taylor who said, “Jerry embodies everything a beloved man should embody. He’s a veteran, a warrior. Being a veteran carries a lot of weight in our culture. He’s a man who gets out and does–and he does for others. He’s selfless.”“You might call me an active man,” Jerry demurred. I followed him to the museum’s centerpiece, a life-size statue of a young, muscular warrior in ceremonial dress wearing an antlered helmet and loincloth and holding aloft a burning ember. “That’s me,” Jerry said. His body was cast by the artist decades ago. He stood beside his younger version for a photo, a telescope of history. Interactive displays tell the story of the Cherokees from 12,000 years ago to the present by combining computer generated imagery, special effects, and audio with an extensive artifact collection.It’s done so well that Van Romans of Walt Disney Imagineering said “The Museum of the Cherokee Indian is revolutionary in its ability to tell stories and should be a model to other museums that are struggling to engage their audience in their message.”I spent the night at the incongruous Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort where Ahinawake Littledave showed me around the massive 21-story building.“There are many things to do here,” she said pointing out a state-of-the-art 3,000 seat performance hall being set up for Jay Leno, the miles of gaming tables, clanging slot machines, sedate poker rooms, various table games and ten on-site food and restaurant choices. As a full service resort, the property features a spa, shops, live entertainment and swimming pools. Ms. Littledave touted the various ways that the resort helps the community by using it as a training ground for tribal members aspiring to become managers and the twice yearly profit sharing checks that all Cherokees receive as well as scholarship, educational and health funds. An extensive collection of Cherokee art adorns the building. A rooftop garden spills into seven waterfalls representing the seven clans. Since the casino opened in 1997, “It’s a different way of life,” she noted. The occupancy rate runs about 95 percent, drawing people from all over the Southeast hoping to win big jackpots like the $200,000 winner Ms. Littledave saw or to qualify for the World Poker Tour.Whether you win jackpots or not, the enrichment from stopping here is invaluable. Despite the tragic and moving history, Cherokee wisdom and humor seem to endure as in this adage: “When the white man discovered this country, Indians were running it. No taxes, no debt, women did all the work. White man thought he could improve on a system like this.” Cherokee, North Carolina has lots of stories to tell.By March 11th, 2020 | Last updated on March 11th, 2020Home » Poker News » WSOP Offers Global Casino Championship Details
The World Series of Poker Circuit is well into its 2019-2020 season, both for international and US Circuit series that originally started in July 2019. The second half of each tour’s season began in January.
As the end of the season inches closer, the World Series of Poker decided to reveal more information about the season-ending WSOP Circuit finale.2020 Global Casino Championship
The 16th season of the WSOP Circuit will end for the US tour in May and the international tour in June. As the WSOP then plays out in Las Vegas, the WSOP Circuit will prepare for its finale now set for August 11-13, 2020.
The Global Casino Championship will actually take place amidst one of the stops on the next season’s tour. While the 2020-2021 season has yet to be announced, one of the stops will be at the Harrah’s Cherokee in North Carolina, the same location as in past years. That series will start on August 6 and run through August 17, featuring a $1,700 WSOP Circuit Main Event.
And right in the middle of the series, the 2020 Global Poker Championship will bring up to 154 qualifiers to the tables to play for a $1 million minimum prize pool and a WSOP gold bracelet.

The WSOP Circuit is still inviting players to compete, as every Main Event winner in the 2019-2020 season receives a free entry into the tournament. The Casino Champion at each tour stop also receives an entry. When the May and June stops are completed, the US Circuit leaderboard will showcase the top 50 players of the season, each of whom will win a seat into the finale.
Of the 154 qualifiers, there will be as many as 120 from the US Circuit and another 34 from the international stops.
All qualifiers will receive a $500 travel stipend to make the trek to Harrah’s Cherokee Casino. US-based players will also receive three nights of accommodations at the resort, while international players will win four nights. All players making the final table of the Global Casino Championship will be given another complimentary night.
Buy-ins to the event will cost $10K but be limited to players who won a gold ring event at any stop on the WSOP Circuit – domestic or international – throughout the 2019-2020 season. They will pay no rake on their buy-in.
In addition, all players in the top 100 of the WSOP Player of the Year rankings from 2019 can buy in.
