LAS VEGAS (July 28, 2023) – Following more than two months of nonstop record-shattering play at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) today announced its annual fall series, WSOP Europe and its initial international stops for the 2023-24 WSOP Circuit (WSOP-C). Returning for its 14th season, the 2023 edition of WSOP Europe is set to unfold at King’s Resort in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, from Oct. 25 – Nov. 15, with the highly anticipated Main Event kicking off on Nov. 10.
King’s Resort owner Leon Tsoukernik expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming series, stating, “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.” He emphasized the Resort’s commitment to deliver unmatched service and hospitality to all poker players.
The WSOP-C also kicked off its 2023-24 international run on July 27 in London with eight confirmed stops scheduled to date and more stops to be announced soon on WSOP.com. In addition to earning a spot in the invitation-only “Tournament of Champions” event at the 2024 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, each champion from the live or online circuit events will also get a highly coveted WSOP gold ring.
In 2022, the WSOP Europe Main Event beat the record for entrants with 763 participants, resulting in a €7,248,500 prize pool. This year features 15 bracelet events, with the Main Event coming in at a €10,000 buy-in with €5M GTD.
“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.”

ABOUT THE WSOP CIRCUIT
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit Events are a series of poker tournaments hosted throughout the United States and throughout the world beginning in late July each year, and culminating the following WSOP in Vegas with a $1,000,000 Tournament of Champions where the victor earns a WSOP gold bracelet as well. WSOP U.S. Circuit Events are designed to give the recreational and amateur player an opportunity to participate in the WSOP experience at a more affordable price point and with less of a time commitment than the traditional WSOP in Las Vegas. Each stop typically features 12 official events in 12 days, including a $1,700 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Main Event. Official WSOP Circuit events range in buy-in from $250-$5,300 and award a prestigious WSOP gold ring to each victor and a spot to the following Tournament of Champions. These poker tournaments are designed to reach a winner within two playing days, with some events even structured to complete in one day. The WSOP Circuit Events are a regional and international offshoot of the longest-running, largest, richest and most prestigious gaming event in the world, dating back 49 years to 1970 – the famous World Series of Poker. This marks the 21st year the WSOP Circuit Events have been held. They were initially established by Caesars Entertainment (then Harrah’s Entertainment) after its purchase of the WSOP brand in 2004 as a way to bring the WSOP experience to Caesars-owned properties throughout the U.S. In the inaugural season (2004-05), the WSOP Circuit featured five stops – Atlantic City, Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, San Diego and New Orleans. Now, with 35 stops domestically, the WSOP Circuit visits 16 U.S. states and cumulatively features more entrants than the Las Vegas version of the WSOP. Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc., (CIE) owns the WSOP and the WSOP Circuit Events. Visit us at https://www.wsop.com/2023/wsope/ or www.twitter.com/wsop.
