2013 World Series of Poker Europe preview

In less than two weeks the poker world will descend on Paris, France for the start of the 2013 World Series of Poker Europe. The tournament series will play out over two weeks, with eight WSOP bracelets on the line, including the inaugural Ladies Championship at the WSOPE series.

This will be the first year the WSOPE is held in Paris (actually on the outskirts of the city at the Barriere Casino in Enghien-les-Bains, France) after sending the past two years in Cannes, France, and before that in London, England. The WSOP brass has announced that the home of the WSOPE will likely continue to move around as they intend to live up to the series name of WSOP EUROPE.

The official sponsor of the WSOPE will be 888 –which also sponsored the 2013 WSOP APAC and 2013 WSOP series—and the site has announced they will offer live online streaming of the WSOPE for the first time.

The key events on the 2013 WSOPE schedule will be the €25k High-Roller tournament, and of course the €10,000 buy-in Main Event. If you were so inclined, you could enter every bracelet event at the 2013 WSOPE for a mere €48,500 plus €2,150 in tournament fees.
