Las Vegas comes to London
For the first time since its establishment, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) will be held outside of Las Vegas. The World Series of Poker Europe makes its debut at three London casinos from September 6-16th 2007.
Fifty, Leicester Square and the Sportsman will play host to the event, which strives to be a major contender among world poker competitions.
Jeffrey Pollack, World Series of Poker commissioner, said: "The World Series of Poker Europe will have a unique identity, style and flair, but will remain true to the 38-year tradition and heritage of the WSOP.
"This new tournament has been designed with European players in mind, but registrants from every country are welcome. 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."
After smaller inaugural competitions, the main event will be a six-day No-Limit Texas Hold Em Championship, with a jackpot of £10,000 awaiting the winner.
