Live tournament update: Serock wins European Open, Yang wins WPT Korea

A round-up of live tournament action from around the globe including Joe Serock taking down the European Open, and Bian Yang winning WPT Korea.

Unibet’s decision to send 200 online qualifiers to Las Vegas to compete in the inaugural European Open Special Edition was a sound one as 673 players entered smashing the $400,000 guarantee to smithereens.

The $1,100 buy-in event formed part of the Wynn Fall Classic, and it was a resounding success. Not only did Unibet send their qualifiers, but they also brought along a host of Unibet Ambassadors and celebrities, including the former Miss Finland, Sara Chafek, and former professional footballers Regi Blinker, Phil Babb, Henrik Larsson, and George Boateng.

98 players received a penny or two, and the final table housed three big names: Joe Serock, Rex Clinkscales and the World Poker Tour (WPT) Champions Club member, Jordan Cristos.
