MORE DETAILS RELEASED ON EUROPEAN W.S.O.P.
2 March 2007
Inaugural event will take place at three London
casinos in September 2007
Harrah's Entertainment Inc, owners and organisers of the
World Series of Poker has added detail to an earlier
announcement that the world's biggest poker event is to
have a European equivalent (see previous InfoPowa
reports)
The first European run of the prestigious championship
will take place in London between September 6 and 16 at
three London casinos - Fifty, Leicester Square and the
Sportsman. WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack emphasised
in the Harrah's press release that the European series
will have all the "....unique identity, style and flair,
but will remain true to the event's 38-year tradition
and heritage.
"This new tournament has been designed with European
players in mind, but registrants from every country are
welcome," he said. "We hope it becomes an annual
tradition for poker enthusiasts and a home for WSOP fans
after the action concludes in Las Vegas each summer."
The European WSOP starts September 6 with a three-day
H.O.R.S.E. event at the brand-new Leicester Square,
which is also the site of a two-day Pot-Limit Omaha
tournament September 8.
The Main Event is scheduled for September 10 and is a
six-day GBP10 000 No-Limit Texas Hold'em Championship.
Play will be split amongst all three casinos before
being consolidated September 13 at Leicester Square.
