In addition to these familiar tournaments, a new event has been added to this year’s schedule as the fourth preliminary event. The $10,000 no-limit hold’em high roller heads-up makes its debut September 21.
The grand finale for the 2010 WSOP Europe is the £10,000 no-limit hold’em main event (event No. 5), beginning September 23 and concluding on the 28th. Card Player will feature full live updates from the main event, including live updates, chip counts, photos, and videos from CardPlayer TV.
