WSOP Europe schedule announced

2009-04-14 12:12:50

The schedule for the 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe event in London has been announced.

As in 2008, there will be four bracelets up for grabs this year, although a £2,500 mixed pot-limit hold'em/pot-limit Omaha tournament is now among the events on offer.

The series gets underway on Friday September 18th with a £1,000 no-limit hold'em competition.

Monday September 21st sees the mixed event get underway, while the penultimate tournament - the £5,000 pot-limit Omaha - kicks off on Wednesday September 23rd.

The £10,000 no-limit hold'em main event will bring the proceedings to a close on Saturday September 26th.

John Juanda won that competition last year to earn his fourth WSOP bracelet.

In 2007, when the event made its debut, teenage poker sensation Annette Obrestad catapulted herself into the spotlight by taking it down and earning £1 million.

She remains too young to compete in the summer WSOP in Las Vegas.
