Tournament Schedule & Results

Launched in 2007 by Harrah's Entertainment, owner of the World Series of
Poker (WSOP), the WSOPE is the first tournament extension of the world's
richest and most prestigious gaming event. WSOPE is held in London,
England annually at London Clubs International (LCI) properties and awards
the same coveted gold bracelets that the WSOP awards annually in Las
Vegas. In 2007, WSOPE awarded three gold bracelets, the first bracelets
ever awarded outside the United States. The WSOPE will be held from
September 19th to October 2nd, 2008 in London, England. This year's
tournament will again be hosted by London Clubs International (LCI) at their
London locations.

The 2008 World Series of Poker Europe Presented by Betfair.com (the
WSOPE) will feature four bracelet tournaments, including a new addition, the
Â£1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event that will open the tournament.

For the first time, and subject to the execution of a definitive agreement,
ESPN, the exclusive World Series of Poker telecaster, is scheduled to air eight
original hours of coverage of the World Series of Poker Europe in the United
States and distribute the tournament globally. ESPN360.com, ESPN's
signature broadband sports network, is scheduled to provide live coverage in
the U.S., Europe, Mexico and Brazil.

WSOPE in London complements the WSOP held annually in Las Vegas. The
inaugural 2007 event featured 623 entrants compete for £1,305,215 over
three tournaments including the Main Event that saw Norway's Annette
Obrestad best a field that included Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth and Johnny
Chan to win the largest amount ever for a female, £1 million or U.S.
