WSOPE STARTS IN LONDON
7 September 2007
Big names and big money in UK version of poker's
greatest tournament
Wednesday 6 September sees the start of the inaugural
World Series of Poker Europe in London - the first time
that the globally famous brand has been presented
outside Las Vegas.
The series is being held over three venues, all within a
few London Underground stops of each other. The
Sportsman, The Casino Empire and Fifty London have been
chosen by Betfair, the UK presenter for the event, as
the venues in order to handle the large number of
competitions and players that this sort of
mega-tournament involves.
Planet-wide poker aces will be appearing - the likes of
Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Phil
Ivey, Eli Elezra, Gus Hansen and Allen Cunningham are
all confirmed, along with many others from across the
globe and closer to home in Europe. The high priced
buy-in of GBP 10 000 for the Main Event has caused
widespread speculation on the likely size of the field
for this climax of WSOPE, but initial indications are
that there will be an impressive turnout.
Wednesday action starts with a H.O.R.S.E. competition
carrying a GBP 2 500 buy-in which will start at the
Empire venue Wednesday evening. The Main Event is
scheduled for Monday 10 September and is expected to run
for a full week, with play spread over the three venues
but consolidating on September 13 at the Casino Empire,
where the final table will be held.
