|
The World Series of Poker has announced its schedule for the 2013 series in Europe, which will be held near Paris, France. The WSOPE kicks off Friday, Oct. 11 with a brand new special event.
The series will commence with a €1,000+€100 buy-in “Ladies” no-limit hold’em tournament. The WSOPE has never held such a tournament before, despite one being a staple of the summer festival for many years now. The Ladies event will make eight bracelets to be awarded this year in the suburbs of Paris.
“We first offered a Ladies event at the Vegas WSOP in 1977, and felt it was the right time to add this tradition to WSOPE,” WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart said in a statement. “We need to do more to promote ladies involvement with the game, and with the many breakout stars in the region, it feels like a women’s European championship is long overdue.”
The series will conclude on Oct. 25 with the conclusion of the €10,000+€450 buy-in main event, which was won by none other than Phil Hellmuth last year.
