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

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.
