The 2024 WSOP Europe Main Event
The 2024 World Series of Poker Main Event took place towards the end of the series, running October 4 — 9. The tournament featured two starting flights, and it featured a now-traditional guarantee of €5,000,000.
By the time the late registration was done, that guarantee was shattered, as 768 players joined the action, creating the prize pool of over €7.2 million and making it the second-biggest WSOP Europe Main Event. Of that amount, the lion’s share of €1.3 million was reserved for the eventual winner.
After full five days of play, that coveted title went to Simone Andrian. Despite not having many cashes on his career resume, this was actually second WSOP bracelet for Andrian, the first one coming in 2021, when he took down a 6-Max event, also in Rozvadov.
The final table was an interesting mix of players coming from seven different countries, and all of them guaranteed a six-figure payday from the get-go.

WSOP Europe History
The World Series of Poker Europe was established in 2007. This was the first time in the series’ long history that it ventured outside of Las Vegas, announcing things to come.
The Empire Casino in London played host for the inaugural WSOP Europe, which featured only three bracelet-awarding events. One of these was the £10,000 Main Event and as luck would have it, that event was one by Annette Obrestad, a poker player from Norway who was only 18 years old at the time. Thus, she became the youngest WSOP bracelet winner in the history of the series.
Following the 2007 rollout, WSOP Europe became a regular feature, and for the next three years, it took place in London. After that, it moved to France for a couple of years.
When it comes to historic moments that marked the WSOPE, 2012 was one of the most important years. In 2012, the poker legend Phil Hellmuth took down the WSOP Europe Main Event, making him the only player to win both Main Events – in Las Vegas and Europe.
In 2014, the WSOP decided to introduce WSOP Asia-Pacific, which would rotate with WSOP Europe, so there were no 2014 and 2016 WSOPE events. The 2015 European series was held in Germany.
In 2017, King’s Casino in Rozvadov, the Czech Republic, became the official host for the WSOP Europe, and it has held this spot ever since. Over the years, the number of WSOP Europe events continued to increase, and these days, most WSOP Europe stops feature 15 bracelet-awarding events.
