Countdown to WSOP Europe

Six days and counting!

If you're planning a European vacation to coincide with the inaugural WSOP Europe, maybe you'll find yourself rubbing elbows with (or sitting next to!) your favorite poker pros...such as Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Eric Seidel, Eli Elezra, Gus Hanson, Jennifer Harman, Allen Cunningham, Howard Lederer, David Williams or Josh Arieh.

"We're thrilled that so many of the game's biggest names will participate in the World Series of Poker Europe presented by Betfair.com" said commissioner Jeffrey Pollack. "we fully expect World Series of Poker Europe presented by Betfair.com to become Europe's preeminent poker tournament. The early sign ups and limited venue size means that each field will have limited capacity. If players want to play in these inaugural events alongside the best players in the world, I encourage them to pre-register well in advance to solidify their seat."

WSOP Europe kicks off on September 6 with a three-day, £2,500 HORSE event starting on September 6, at The Casino at The Empire.
