Poker Prize Pools

Largest Poker Prize Pools Expected at WSOPE Events


September 10 - As poker continues to become ever more popular around the world, so too are poker tournaments becoming even more lucrative then ever before, such as the coveted World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) which is set to pay out the biggest poker prize pools in Europe to date.

The inaugural WSOPE, which kicked off recently in London, England, has attracted some of the biggest names in professional poker as well as plenty of intrepid online poker players who qualified for the event through various leading online poker rooms.

The first event of the WSOPE, the £2,500 H.O.R.S.E. tournament drew an impressive 105 players from all over the globe resulting in a record-breaking prize pool of just over £260 000 that was shared by the event's top 16 players, including the overall winner, Thomas Bihl.

Bihl walked away with a prestigious WSOPE bracelet as well as a hefty check for £70,875. He competed against the likes of Jennifer Harman, Gary Jones, Joe Beavers, Yuval Bronshtein, Alex Kravchenko, Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson, Phil Hellmuth, Kirk Morrison, and poker legend, Doyle Brunson.

The WSOPE Main Event kicks off today and is expected to deliver some high-octane poker action judging by the events that have proceeded it. At a cost of £10 000 to buy in to this No-Limit Texas Hold'em event and seats for only 750 players, this tournament is expected to pay out a massive £7.5 million in prize money.
