WSOP Africa Happening Now

WSOP is currently holding its first WSOP Circuit Event in South Africa. 3 poker pros have already signed up to play at the tournament Vanessa Rousso, Gus Hansen and Maria Ho are already in Johannesburg at the circuit event of "The World Cup" of poker.

The WSOP series is well established in the US, and now they join the Emerald Poker Series of tournaments, with the circuit event being held at the Emerald Resort & Casino between 24th and 31st October. You can find the schedule here.

The WSOP Africa, however fancy the name, seems to be way more inferior than the WSOP held in Las Vegas and the WSOPE travelling across Europe, as they won't give the winners any bracelets or rings, and the results will not count in the Circuits' new cumulative point system. There also won't be any live coverage on the internet as far as know, we can only hope that Harrah's will keep us informed at the WSOP Official Site.
