World Series of Poker Europe
Under the leadership of WSOP commissioner, Jeffrey Pollack, the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) is the first expansion of the World Series of Poker. In September 2007, the first WSOPE championship events outside of Las Vegas took place in London. It was the first time that WSOP bracelets were awarded outside of Las Vegas.[7] Three tournaments were held, with the main event being a £10,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament. The main event was won by Norwegian online prodigy Annette Obrestad, who won on the day before her 19th birthday and became the youngest person ever to win a WSOP bracelet.
