Now that the 2007 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas has wrapped up with the presentation of bracelet number 55 in the $10,000 buy-in Main Event, all eyes in the poker world will shift their focus to the World Series of Poker Europe for bracelets 56, 57 and 58.

The inaugural WSOP Europe begins September 6 with a three-day, £2,500 HORSE event starting on September 6, at The Casino at The Empire, LCI's newest casino in Leicester Square. The Empire will also be the host casino for a two-day, £5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament starting September 8.

On September 10, the WSOP Europe Main Event - a six-day, £10,000 No-Limit Texas Hold'Em Championship - will begin at The Empire, The Sportsman and Fifty. The playing field will be consolidated beginning September 13 at The Empire.

In honor of this exciting landmark in poker, Bodog.com is guaranteeing six VIP prize packages that include not only the £10,000 Main Event buy-in but also travel expenses, an 11-night stay at a 5-star luxury hotel and car service to whisk qualifiers around the capital.

These VIP prize packages are only available to be won during two Main Event Europe Semifinals that will be held on Sunday, August 19 at 3:05 ET and at 3:05 GMT.

There are a variety of qualifiers for as little as $1 that drive players into the Quarterfinal level that has a $40 buy-in. Winners of this level will move on to the Semifinal level that has a buy-in of $540 and is capped at 150 players.
