7/4/07posted by Poker Queen @ 6:37 PM For the first time in WSOP history, the WSOP will be played in Europe. The WSOP Europe tournament is scheduled to be held in London September 6-16, 2007. Three tournaments will be played, H.O.R.S.E, Pot-Limit Omaha and a No-Limit Texas Hold'em Main Event.The WSOP Europe will begin September 6 with a £2,500 (about $5000) H.O.R.S.E tournament, continue with a two-day £5,000 (about $10,000) Pot-Limit Omaha event on September 8, and end with the WSOP Europe Main Event, a six-day £10,000 (roughly $20,000) No-Limit Texas Hold'em Championship. The WSOP Europe tournament will be held in three casinos, Fifty, Leicester Square and the Sportsman, all operated by London Clubs International. Both the H.O.R.S.E event and thePot-Limit Omaha tournament will be held ad LCI's newest casino in Leicester Square. The Main Event will be played in all three casinos. In addition to the prize money, each tournament winner will get the traditional WSOP gold bracelet, which according to WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack, will carry the same prestige as the Las Vegas WSOP bracelets. All performances in the WSOP Europe will count as regular WSOP performances. The plan is to run the WSOP Europe tournament every year, after the WSOP in Las Vegas. "This new tournament has been designed with European players in mind, but registrants from every country are welcome," Pollack said. He also said that WSOP Europe is just the first step and that there are plans to expand the WSOP tournament to other parts of the world. There are no definite plans yet, but expanding the WSOP to other locations would make it would make it run all year.
