The WSOP-C also kicks off its 2023-24 international run on August 13 in London, with eight confirmed stops scheduled to date and more stops to be announced soon on WSOP’s official website. In addition to earning a spot in the invitation-only “Tournament of Champions” event at the 2024 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, each champion from the live or online circuit events will also get a WSOP gold ring.
This year features 15 bracelet events, with the Main Event coming in at a €10,000 ($11,007) buy-in with €5 million ($5.5 million) GTD. In 2022, the WSOP Europe Main Event beat the record for entrants with 763 participants, resulting in a €7,248,500 ($7.9 million) prize pool.

We expect the WSOP Europe to ride the momentum and break its Main Event record once again this year as players from around the globe try their hand in the richest, most prestigious sport in the world.”
