The WSOP Europe schedule has been announced and will again be held in London, which is in Europe, by some strange coincidence.
If you’re not WSOP’ed up and out, or even if you are but can allow two months heal your wounds, the WSOPE will begin on September 19th with four (count ‘em…four) events as follows:
Event 1 - Sept. 19th - 1500 Euro No-Limit Hold’em (3 days)
Event 2 - Sept. 22nd - 2500 Euro H.O.R.S.E. (3 days)
Event 3 - Sept. 24th - 5000 Euro Pot-Limit Omaha (3 days)
Event 4 - Sept. 27th - 10,000 Euro World Championship No-Limit Hold’em (5 days)
All of the above will be bracelet events held at the London Clubs International, and five additional non-bracelet events will be scheduled and announced at a later date.
For the sake of trademarks, the importance of which is pointed out by Wicked Chops, it should be noted that the WSOPE is officially the 2008 World Series of Poker Europe(sm) Presented by Betfair.com.

One of Pokerati’s goals for 2008 is to re-introduce the phrase “in your kitchen” to the poker lexicon. (Basically it means “having someone’s number” — and the ability to play head games to the point that you have a specific opponent making all the wrong moves against you.) While we haven’t yet heard it much at all around the various tables in Las Vegas, we are delighted to see the whole kitchen concept starting to rear its head in England, where our good friends at PartyPoker have introduced the idea of “bageling” Phil Hellmuth.
Click below to read all about how its been shaking down in the Party Premier League in Leyton, where on non-poker days the Party-sponsored Leyton Orient have been kicking arse and are looking strong as they seek promotion from League One to the Champions League. Though things aren’t going as well for my beloved Wigan, the likelihood that they could be relegated as my second-beloved Leyton gets promoted, thereby putting them in the same league is kinda exciting regardless of all the great poker that is getting played overseas.
I still find it funny that the currency used in the Party Premier League is dollars, not pounds.
