The pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the Main Event, sporting a €10,350 buy-in and an eye-watering €5 million guarantee. This is the event that all elite poker players have circled on their calendars.
Building up to the WSOPE, the WSOP Circuit Events are slotted from September 20 to October 10, 2023. This series is expected to set the tone and generate momentum leading into the WSOPE, amplifying the anticipation.
King’s Resort’s proud owner, Leon Tsoukernik, couldn’t contain his excitement for the upcoming series, sharing, “We’re absolutely thrilled to continue hosting the most prestigious tournament series in Europe, this year offering even higher guaranteed prize pools and new exciting events.” He went on to assure participants of the resort’s unwavering commitment to impeccable service and hospitality.
It’s worth looking back to 2022, when the WSOP Europe Main Event created history with 763 entrants and a staggering prize pool of €7,248,500. This year, the WSOP Europe is gearing up with 15 bracelet events. With the Main Event’s €10,000 buy-in and a €5M GTD prize pool, all eyes will be on this illustrious tournament. On his third attempt, Sweden’s Omar Eljach clinched victory at the 2022 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Main Event. He triumphed over 763 competitors to secure a prize of €1,380,128.
WSOP Executive Director and Senior Vice President, Ty Stewart, is optimistic about this year’s turnout. He said, “We believe that the WSOP Europe will surpass its Main Event record, especially with the increasing global interest in poker following the recent Las Vegas Main Event.”
