WSOP Europe returns with $20M in guarantees, 11 gold-bracelet events

After a one-year hiatus from the poker calendar, the World Series of Poker Europe has returned in its most ambitious effort to date.

WSOPE 2017 features 11 gold-bracelet events between Oct. 19 and Nov. 10 as part of a larger WSOP festival at the King's Casino Rozvadov in the Czech Republic. A WSOP circuit stop kicks off the festivities on Sept. 28, and the festival as a whole stretches on for 44 days with more than $20 million in prize pool guarantees.

The bracelet events kick off with an €1,100 version of the WSOP's "Monster Stack" event with three starting flights, and a €550 version of the WSOP Colossus that carries a €2 million guarantee with an eye toward setting the record for largest live tournament field in European history.
