The first World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) to be held in Rozvadov, Czech Republic will kick off October 19 and run to November 10, 2017 at Leon Tsoukernik’s King’s Casino, Rozvadov offering an 11-bracelet event tournament schedule.
The series will officially conclude on Friday, November 10, 2017 with the final table of the Euro 10,300 Main Event featuring a Euro 4,000,000 prize pool guarantee.
With the WSOP Circuit event immediately preceding WSOPE, satellite guarantees and this WSOP festival, organizers describe the experience as the largest, longest, richest and most ambitious poker series ever attempted in Europe.
In addition, a record Euro 2,000,000 guarantee has been placed on the WSOP Europe version of Colossus, a Euro 550 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em tournament with 10 starting flights over five days taking place October 27-31.
“WSOP Europe has struggled to find a permanent home since debuting in 2007 because we could never really find the venue or partner to replicate what we have in Las Vegas,” WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart, said. “But I truly believe in Leon’s vision, his passion and King’s Casino to execute the best WSOP Europe to date.
“We are bullish in this becoming the European equivalent of the WSOP in Las Vegas, something we have always dreamed of doing when we first began our foray into Europe a decade ago.”
