The 2013 World Series of Poker Europe, presented by BarrierePoker.fr, kicks off on Friday, October 11th. The seventh annual running of this tournament series boasts a number of exciting changes, including a new venue. This year the WSOPE will take place from Oct. 11th through Oct. 25th at the Casino Barrière d’Enghien-les-Bains, in a suburb of Paris, France. The century-old casino is situated alongside a beautiful lake, and also is located next to the Pergola Nova convention center, where the majority of play will take place.

2013 WSOPE Champion Phil HellmuthThere will be eight gold WSOP bracelets on the line, with a number of new events including the kickoff, a €1,100 ladies no-limit hold’em event and a €25,600 buy-in no-limit hold’em high roller tournament. The other bracelet events include a €1,100 no-limit hold’em re-entry, a €5,300 mixed-max no-limit hold’em, a €1,650 pot-limit Omaha, a €2,200 no-limit hold’em, a €3,250 mixed-max pot-limit Omaha and of course the marquee €10,450 no-limit hold’em main event, which kicks off Oct. 19th. In 2012 Phil Hellmuth topped a field of 420 to earn $1,333,841 and his record 13th gold bracelet in Cannes.

“New tournament dates and 12 million Parisians have us aiming for the largest Main Event in Europe,” said WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart earlier this year when the schedule was announced. “Baguettes and Bracelets; Champagne and Cash; we think is a winning recipe for the 2013 WSOP Europe.”

In addition to the bracelet events there will also be more than four dozen other side events to choose from, as well as cash games running around the clock. The 2013 World Series of Poker Europe will be televised broadly around the world, including on ESPN and Eurosport. The WSOPE remains the only European poker tournament to be televised in the United States.
