The World Series of Poker release the schedules for the 2017 World Series of Poker Circuit and World Series of Poker Europe festivals at the King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic

The World Series of Poker has high expectations for their forthcoming World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) and World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Festivals, so much so, they have christened the 44-day poker wet dream the largest poker event ever held outside of Las Vegas.

When Leon Tsoukernik bought a plot of land in a small village with a population of 800 people in Rozvadov, Czech Republic people would have raised an eyebrow. When he told them of his plans to build a casino, I expect most of them wanted to cart him off to the local sanitarium.

15-years later, and Tsoukernik is the governor of the King’s Casino, the largest poker room in Europe, and on September 28, it will play host to the most prestigious brand in poker when it begins dishing out 14 WSOPC gold rings and 11 gold bracelets and well as over €20m in guaranteed prize money.
