World Series of Poker – Europe
September 5, 2007
This year the World Series of Poker is coming to London in a set of 3 events which will be the first time they have ever given away a bracelet outside of Las Vegas.
The events are played in three London casinos with the new Casino at the Empire in Leicester Square being the main venue. I walked past there at lunchtime and saw the huge banner outside advertising it, and it sank in how much I want to play at the main event.
The whole show kicks off tomorrow with a H.O.R.S.E event, following by an Omaha game on Saturday, and then the main event of Texas Hold’em which will start on Monday 10th.
I don’t think I would be able to raise the entry fee of £10,000 within the next few days though.
The only remote chance I would have of playing this year is by satellite entry. That is, betfair.com are running a last chance saloon where they guarantee 5 seats. The entry fee for the satellite is $525, and this really would be the best chance for someone who can’t afford to pay the funds, and who haven’t already got a seat, to gain entry.
I would prefer to pay £500 for a live satellite, rather than online, as I’m currently playing better live than I am on the internet – no doubt due to the dodgy internet connection at home losing me hands and breaking the concentration.
Wish me luck, otherwise I guess I’ll catch it all on YouTube

Got something to say?
Good luck!
I didn’t know they were doing this outside the U.S. Very cool.
Thank ye – but I wasn’t successful. I think there’s a freeroll on Sunday which really would be the last attempt (shame it’s on rubbish software, which really does make a difference to the game).
It’s the first year they are doing it outside of the U.S., and so I’m pleased they chose London – which is good for us and reinforcing the fact London is the European capital for poker 🙂
