World Series of Poker Europe Tournament Dates - 14th April 2009

Harrah’s Entertainment Inc, announced the schedule of its third annual World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) tournament yesterday.

Sponsored by Betfair, the WSOPE will take place between the 17th September and 1st October and will feature four bracelet events, including a new £2,500 Pot Limit Hold’em event.

David Yu, CEO of Betfair said, “We are delighted to be working alongside Harrah's again for a successful third year of our sponsorship of the World Series of Poker Europe. We will remain the only place to qualify online for the WSOPE tournament and we are also very excited about the new $1 million promotion which with free entry will give the WSOPE a wider appeal and add more value than ever before."

This year’s WSOPE will be held at the Empire Casino in Leicester Square, London. This has been the venue for the WSOPE before and has since become a poker ‘hotbed’, with several cash games and tournaments running around the clock.

Michael Silberling, chief operations officer at London Clubs International said, “The Casino at the Empire has quickly become the destination for poker in the UK. We look forward to hosting the best players in the game for the WSOPE this autumn and will continue to offer the finest poker action daily for those in Leicester Square.”
