King's Resort owner Leon Tsoukernik said: “We’re very excited to host the biggest and most prestigious tournament series with the biggest guarantees in Europe without any limitations and struggles of the past two years. Finally, also travel restrictions for players coming from the US have been lifted. We’re all set to deliver first-class service and hospitality for all poker players at King’s.”
The 2022 WSOPE festival features 15 gold bracelet events, with €12 million ($12.3 million) in guaranteed prize money set to be awarded throughout the series. Buy-ins range from as low as €350 in the €500,000 guaranteed kickoff event, all the way up to €50,000 for the €2 million guaranteed no-limit hold’em high roller.
The marquee tournament will be the 2022 WSOP Europe €10,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event. This year’s tournament features a €5 million guaranteed prize pool, and will seek to build upon the success of last year's edition, in which the WSOPE main event attracted a record of 688 entries.
