Bling, bling, and more bling will be won by players in Italy, Morocco, Estonia and elsewhere outside the United States when the World Series of Poker brings its circus to continents around the world.

Main Event in November
The 2023 WSOP Europe will again take place at King’s Resort in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, from Oct. 25 to Nov. 15. The Main Event starts Nov. 10. The series features 15 bracelet events, and the Main has a guaranteed prize-pool of €5 million.
WSOP officials are looking to surpass the numbers from last year, which saw 763 players ante-up €10,000 to build a €7,248,500 prize pool, especially after coming off a record-breaking WSOP Main Event and its 10,043 entries.
“The buzz surrounding poker has surged following this year’s Main Event in Vegas,” said WSOP Executive Director and Senior Vice President Ty Stewart. “We’re not stopping at setting 12 new records. We expect the WSOP Europe to ride the momentum and break its Main Event record once again this year as players from around the globe try their hand in the richest, most prestigious sport in the world.”
Last year’s WSOP Europe Main Event winner, Sweden’s Omar Eljach, won €1,380,128 and the gold bracelet.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to continue hosting the most prestigious tournament series in Europe, this year offering even higher guaranteed prize pools and new exciting events, ” said King’s Resort owner Leon Tsoukernik.
International Circuit started
The extremely ambitious and obsessed poker tournament players based in Europe finished playing WSOP events and hopped on plane to London to compete in the first event of the 2023-24 International Circuit. It’s the first of what is so far nine stops around the Western World (the WSOP promised more will be added). That includes stops in Canada and Brazil.
