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 [4].
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 [5].
