The biggest and richest poker festival in Europe this year is set to kick off on Thursday, 19 October with the €1,100 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold’em event. The series runs nonstop through 10 November.
The entire gold bracelet schedule and structures can be viewed online.
In a week, the WSOP Circuit stops in Rozvadov, with 14 official gold ring events and more than €3 million in guarantees. So from 28 September through 10 November, nonstop WSOP action comes to central Europe. The WSOP Circuit schedule for King’s Casino can be found online.
A lot of great content is planned from WSOP Europe as well. PokerNews has signed on to be the official live reporting outlet for the event. So fans can follow all the bracelet event action via PokerNews and/or WSOP throughout the duration of the 22-day festival.
Robust live streaming is planned as well, with 14 total days of coverage. Both King’s and WSOP will offer free live streaming coverage of the majority of the bracelet events.
