The 2023 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) is less than a fortnight away with the festival set to run at King’s Resort from October 25 through November 15. Fifteen gold WSOP bracelets are waiting to find new homes, while €15 million in combined guaranteed prize pools serve to only sweeten the pot.
The 2022 WSOPE was a roaring success, but King’s is not the kind of venue that rests on its laurels; the management team is always trying to push the envelope. Three of the most popular events on the bustling schedule have seen their guarantees amplified from the 2022 edition, making them an even more attractive proposition.
The Opener, which kicks off the 2023 WSOPE, runs from October 25-30 and costs an affordable €350. Last year’s Opener featured a €500,000 guarantee, but that guarantee has been doubled to €1 million for the 2023 edition.
Likewise, the Mini Main Event, which runs October 29 through November 4, still costs the same €1,350 to enter, but this time around players will be vying for a slice of a guaranteed €2 million, double the 2022 Mini Main Event’s guarantee.
Then there is the Colossus, a €550 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em affair running from November 1-6. Despite the low buy-in, King’s Resort has increased the guarantee from €1 million to an impressive €1.5 million!

King’s Is the Place For High Stakes Action Too
While the Opener, Mini Main Event, and Colossus have buy-ins at the more affordable end of the scale, King’s Resort is also committed to providing the very best in high-stakes action during the 2023 WSOPE.
A handful of bracelet-awarding events fall under the high-stakes category, with a couple verging on super high roller status.
From November 5-6, there is a €5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event with €500,000 guaranteed, closely followed by the €25,000 buy-in €1 million guaranteed GGMillion$ event, which is sure to attract the very best poker players in the business on November 6-7.
Then there is the €50,000 buy-in €1 million guaranteed NLH Diamond High Roller on November 9-10, and the eagerly-anticipated €5 million guaranteed 2023 WSOP Main Event, running November 10-15, which sets entrants back €10,350. More than 400 players have won their 2023 WSOPE Main Event seats online at GGPoker, so this field could be absolutely huge once the live Day 1s are done and dusted.
In addition to those high-stakes bracelet events, King’s Resort is hosting several other high-stakes tournaments. November 2-3 are the dates of the €5,000 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller, with its €200,000 guaranteed prize pool. November 4-5 sees a €10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller take place; it guarantees €300,000 in its prize pool.
Then there is a Super High Roller running from November 7-8, which commands a €100,000 buy-in. While there is no guarantee on the €100,000 NLH Super High Roller, the prize pool should easily eclipse seven figures.
Rounding out the high-stakes action during the 2023 WSOP is a €50,000 buy-in NLH Super High Roller. Head to King’s Resort from November 10-11 if you want to play in that tournament or want to see some of poker’s elite battle it out for gigantic payouts.
