For the first time in its history, World Series of Poker Europe will be played at the Spielbank Berlin Casino in Germany from October 8 to 24, meaning the series starts Thursday. Over the span of 16 days, 10 bracelet events will be contested that count toward official WSOP records. The fun begins on Thursday with a €2,200 Six-Handed No Limit Hold'em event. The start of the tournament on Thursday also marks the first time the event has been contested in two years. When Caesars and WSOP officials rolled out the WSOP Asia/Pacific (WSOP APAC) in 2013, there were concerns that there was too much travel on the books for players to participate in the WSOP in Las Vegas, Europe, and Australia. As a solution, "the powers that be" decided that WSOP APAC would be contested in even-numbered years and WSOPE would be contested in odd-numbered years.

This looks like it will be a great series of poker,I think the WSOP events outside of the US are getting very good these days. Isn't the Spielbank casino the one that was robbed at gunpoint at a different poker tournament?Could have been an EPT or similar.
