World
Series of Poker Europe Adds New Gold Bracelet Event to Schedule
7th
ANNUAL WSOP EUROPE NOW SLATED FOR OCTOBER 11-25, 2013 in PARIS
All-Inclusive Hotel & Event Buy-In
Package via Living it Loving it Added As Well
PARIS
– Aug. 1, 2013 – The World Series of Poker Europe Presented by BarrierePoker.fr
has added a new event to kick off the schedule for the 7th
Annual World Series of Poker Europe in Paris, France and licensed European tour
packager Living it Loving It to launch a one-stop online reservation and
registration site to help players plan their journey to the French capital.
Doors
will now open a day earlier -- on Friday, October 11 at 6:00 PM local
time -- with a first-ever €1,000 + €100 buy-in Ladies
No-Limit Hold’em tournament, structured as a two-day event. The two-week slate of events will feature eight bracelet tournaments – one more than offered in
2012 or 2011.
“We
first offered a Ladies event at the Vegas WSOP in 1977, and felt it was the
right time to add this tradition to WSOPE,” said WSOP Executive Director Ty
Stewart, while noting an official gold bracelet will indeed be on the line. “We
need to do more to promote ladies involvement with the game, and with the many
breakout stars in the region, it feels like a women’s European championship is
long overdue.”
The
ladies event will kick off the 2013 series, with players playing eight levels
on Day 1. Play will continue on Saturday
with ten levels or until a winner is crowned, whichever comes first.
The 7th Annual WSOPE will be held from October 11 through October 25, 2013
in Enghien-les-Bains, France, in the suburbs of the world renowned French
capital of Paris. (15 km from Paris)
Players will be welcomed into the historic settings of
the Casino Barrière d’Enghien-les-Bains, a 100-year-old lakeside casino. In
addition to the casino setting, the majority of play will take place across the
street at the Convention Center known as “Pergola Nova” which will allow for
all regular tournament play to be in the same room for the very first time at a
WSOP Europe event.
Two main hotels surround the casino and convention
center, the Grand Hotel Barrière and the Barrière Hotel du Lac, which is where
we encourage players to make their room reservations to be walking distance
from the playing areas. Rates, including
breakfast, in-room internet access and fitness center privileges are available
for poker players beginning at €198 a night.
As an added convenience, Barrière and the WSOP have
partnered with the Living it Loving it group to offer players a convenient and
seamless reservation process, including hotel rooms and event
registration. For the first time,
players may use credit cards to purchase event buy ins.

site here: www.wsope.lilievents.com
The
entire WSOP gold bracelet schedule will feature 46 side events during the
two-week poker series. The first open bracelet
event of the series will begin on the weekend, featuring a No Limit Hold’em re-entry
event at 12 noon on Saturday, October 12 (Flight A) and Sunday,
October 13 (Flight B). Those who
bust out of Flight A may re-enter Sunday’s Flight B.
The
2013 World Series of Poker Europe will be televised around the world, including
ESPN and Eurosport. In 2012, WSOPE
programs were broadcast on Eurosport in Europe, and ESPN networks around the
world. WSOPE remains the only European
poker event to be televised in the U.S.
Organizers
are expecting a large turnout as host partner Barrière has committed to qualify
a minimum 100 players for the €10,000 Main Event through land-based and online
promotions. Additionally and new this year, live web streaming sponsor 888
Poker has pledged to qualify a minimum 50 online qualifiers for the Main Event,
plus additional packages for the preliminary bracelet events. European players looking to qualify for WSOPE
should log on to barrierepoker.fr or 888poker.com for additional details.
