Event 1, HORSE - Event Details

 

The first event of the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe is in the bag and Thomas Bihl is champion! Bihl defeated 104 other hopefuls, including a final table that counted Kirk Morrison, Chris Ferguson, Joe Beevers, Alex Kravchenko and runner-up Jennifer Harman among its participants, to win the £2,500 H.O.R.S.E. event and its commensurate £70,875 first prize (not to mention the gold WSOP bracelet). For second-place, Jennifer Harman takes home £40,688. Congratulations to both finalists and to the World Series of Poker organizers on a very successful opening tournament to the WSOPE!
