With the explosive growth of
poker in the US and now the world, it only made sense that
the World Series of Poker would expand further into Europe.
This year marks the first ever World Series of Poker Europe.
Interestingly enough, more than half the final table at the
2007 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas were born or resided
outside the United States. This event will mark the first
time that a WSOP bracelet will be
awarded outside of Las Vegas.
The new poker series will be held at three casinos operated
by London Clubs International – Fifty, The Casino at The
Empire and the Sportsman.

two-day, £5,000 (approximately $9,800 U.S.) Pot-Limit Omaha
