World Series Of Poker Europe - 7th Annual Rozvadov Edition
The World Series Of Poker is the world's largest brand when it comes to live poker events. Ever since the start of the WSOP events, they are seen as the official World Championships in the poker scene, with all the added glory to it. Every year, over ten thousand players travel to the gambling Walhalla in the world called Las Vegas to get their hands on one of the coveted titles out there. It was until 2007 that the WSOP decided it was time to add another stop to the calendar, called the WSOP Europe.
The very first winner of the WSOP Europe was Annette Obrestad from Norway. She defeated John Tabatabai heads-up and walked away with the first prize of £1,000,000. She did not only get a bracelet and all the prize money for her first place, but she also set a record of becoming the youngest (female) poker player to win a bracelet, by being just 18 years and 364 days old. After the legendary win of Obrestad, another thirteen Main Event winners were crowned throughout the years at the World Series Of Poker Europe. Among these names are top poker players such as 17-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, John Juanda, Adrian Mateos, Kevin MacPhee, and Jack Sinclair.
