Texas Card House Sets Trailblazer Season III for Aug. 25
The five-stop Texas tour carries $125,000 in points prizes, and TCH Social will host another WSOP Circuit series in September.
Texas Card House is set to launch Season III of the Trailblazer Poker Tour on Aug. 25, with five Texas stops and a Trailblazer of the Year race worth $125,000. PokerNews described the series as a full slate of tournaments, satellites and a Main Event at each stop, while Texas Card House CEO Ryan Crow said the tour started as a bet that Texas players deserved a real tour of their own.
The opener runs Aug. 28-Sept. 8 at the Dallas and Las Colinas clubs and carries $1.2 million in guarantees. Players can earn Trailblazer of the Year points at every stop, and the season prize pool is split into $75,000 for the overall leader plus another $50,000 in $2,000 tournament packages for the top five finishers at each stop.
After the opener, Stop 2 returns to Dallas and Las Colinas from Oct. 8-19. The tour then moves to Spring from Oct. 27-Nov. 9, to Houston from Dec. 26-Jan. 11, and finishes in Austin from Feb. 10-Feb. 22, with the Austin finale paying its share of the top-five distribution in cash.
Texas Card House also has a second WSOP Circuit series lined up at TCH Social in September. The 70-table, membership-based club hosts the 12-day run beginning Sept. 10 and ending Sept. 21, with 18 ring events, a $400 NLH The Lone Star ring event that guarantees $100,000, a $600 Mini Main Event that guarantees $750,000, and a $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event that starts Sept. 17 with a $2 million guarantee.
That return follows the first-ever WSOP Circuit series in Texas earlier this year, which ran Apr. 23-May 4 and paid out more than $7 million, the most in Texas poker history. PokerTube also noted that the WSOP Circuit moved to a permanent calendar-year format for 2026, and WSOP CEO Ty Stewart said the change gives players more predictability as they plan their chase for gold rings. The second Texas series opens at TCH Social on Sept. 10.
