Het WSOP circus komt dit jaar naar London voor 3 WSOP Europe events! Ik weet niet in hoeverre dit een circuit event is (net zoals de WPT Parijs) of dat het puur op zich zelf staat.
Hieronder wat meer info:

Harrah's Entertainment announced earlier this week that it is launching the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe this fall. This represents the first time ever that WSOP bracelets will be awarded at events outside of Las Vegas.
[...]
In his announcement, Jeffrey Pollack, World Series of Poker Commissioner said, "The World Series of Poker Europe will have a unique identity, style and flair, but will remain true to the 38-year tradition and heritage of the WSOP."

De buy-in is 10k Engelse Ponden, ongeveer het dubbele van het USA WSOP ME!
Justin: The WSOP-E main event has a buy-in of £10,000 (not Euros). In US dollars, though the specific translation changes every day, that amounts to close to $20,000. Would, then, the $10,000 US World Series of Poker NLHE main event still be the World Championship?
Jeffrey: How do I say this? These aren't apples to apples. These are apples to oranges, right? The main event in Las Vegas is the main event. [It] is the global championship for No-Limit Texas Hold'em by virtue of how big the field is, how big the event is, and how many years that event has been staged.
The World Series of Poker Europe is a standalone tournament that will have its own meaning and value and place in the poker community. So, it isn't a comparative exercise. This is another event that we're doing, end of story.

Interessant gegeven is dat het ME in 3 verschillende casino's gespeeld wordt, waarna de eerste flights worden samenvoegd tot 1 2nd day in één casino!
While the WSOP main event in Vegas will still bear the name "World Championship," something else was tugging at the back of my mind. There are three events scheduled for the European series: a £2,500 ($4,900 U.S.) H.O.R.S.E. event, a £5,000 ($9,800 U.S.) Pot-Limit Omaha event, and, finally, according to the Harrah's press-release:
On September 10, the WSOP Europe Main Event - a six-day, £10,000 (approximately $19,600 U.S.) No-Limit Texas Hold'Em Championship - will begin at LCI's Leicester Square, The Sportsman and Fifty. The playing field will be consolidated beginning September 13 at Leicester Square.
Interesting. I remember before the event schedules were released last year there was a lot of talk about moving the main event over to Caesar's, or possibly running the first days of the event at the Rio and at Caesar's Palace simultaneously before combining at one place or the other. That's exactly the kind of structure they've employed here, and I couldn't help but ask Mr. Pollack if it might be foreshadowing for American events yet to come.
Jeffrey was surprisingly open to the possibility of that kind of structure making an appearance at the World Series of Poker:
"It's not out of the realm of possibility," said Pollack. "This year at the Rio you'll see that we've done some creative things to create more space for the players in the tournament, and depending on how we continue to grow or not grow, we have talked about staging certain events at other properties in Vegas. It's not something, obviously, that we've decided to do yet, but it's an idea that we have floated.".
