- 2007 World Poker Finals (WPT) - No-Limit Hold'em Event 13 - Poker tournament results, including winners and their payouts and winnings.
The World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) is the first expansion effort of World Series of Poker-branded pokertournaments outside the United States. Since 1970, participants have had to travel to Las Vegas if they wanted to compete in the World Series of Poker (WSOP). Although the WSOP held circuit events in other locations, the main tournaments, which awarded bracelets to the winners, were exclusively held in Las Vegas. The inaugural WSOPE, held in 2007, marked the first time that a WSOP bracelet was awarded outside Las Vegas.[1]
In 2004, Harrah's Casinos purchased the rights to the WSOP label. Harrah's later purchased London Clubs International (LCI). LCI operates three casinos in the London area: Fifty, Leicester Square, and The Sportsman. After the purchase of these casinos, Harrah's decided to expand its WSOP label into Europe.[2] European casinos typically have a different environment than those in the U.S.[2]Jeffrey Pollack, the WSOP Commissioner, indicated that the WSOPE would have a 'style and flair that is both unique and appropriate to the setting. So don't be surprised if we require participants to wear blazers at the tables. If James Bond were hosting a poker tournament it may look like the World Series of Poker Europe.'[2]
In marketing the WSOPE, Harrah's Casino did not rely upon the reputation of Harrah's or the WSOP alone. On July 5, 2007, Harrah's announced its alliance with England-based Betfair, one of the largest online gaming companies in the world. The agreement builds on Betfair's European reputation in advertising the WSOPE while creating the largest agreement between a web-based and brick-and-mortar casinos.[3] Due to changes in U.S. laws, effective in 2007, the WSOP could no longer accept money from online gambling companies. This prevented the WSOP from acknowledging WSOP qualifiers from online events. The WSOPE is not bound by this limitation. The United Kingdom Gambling Act of 2005 allows for legal regulated online poker sites.[4] Furthermore, as the laws that govern the age of gambling differ in England than the U.S., the WSOPE admits younger players. In 2007, four of the five finalists at the first event of the WSOPE had won bracelets. Thomas Bihl, however, outlasted each of them to claim the first-ever WSOPE bracelet. No previous bracelet winners played at the second final table; Dario Alioto won the bracelet. Annette 'Annette_15' Obrestad, became the youngest player to win a WSOP bracelet event at 18 years and 364 days old in the final event of the tournament.[5] As of 2016, Obrestad's record still stands.

Event 2 results[edit]
Where did you find the results for event 2? They're not listed on Cardplayer.com. The payout structure looks strange. Entheta 16:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Center aligned text?[edit]
Someone changed the tables to align the text to the center. Personally, I think it looks better when it's aligned to the left, as on 2006 World Series of Poker Results. What do others think? I guess the most important thing is that we're consistent. Entheta 19:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
More comprehensive results[edit]
why did someone remove my efforts on full results. i personally believe these are relevant nformation poker enthusiastics will want to know —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Banacek555 (talk • contribs).

- Aside from being way excessively trivial, it was also factually wrong. Alllen Cunningham is not a main event world champion for instance. 2005 21:19, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
ok - granted but how about the final showdown hands - that will be interesting for historical purposes in future not only winning hand by also winning poker hands
Event 28 Results[edit]
The $3,000 NL event was suspended when they reached the final 10 players last night, although it was still relatively early in the evening. It appears the WSOP and ESPN are content to call this the final table with 10 players, rather than the usual 9. Should we, therefore, add the 10th-place finisher to our results page? Stsharp413 14:19, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Event 31 Results[edit]
Obviously the final table of the heads-up championship will only be two players, but how many finishers should we list for the 'final table' payouts? I vote for the quarterfinalists (final 8) onward. Any other suggestions? Stsharp413 14:21, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Event 33[edit]
It's a $1500 event. The article said it had 293 buy-ins, but the top prize was $464,867 ??Can anyone check on this? I don't know where to look for the right info. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.129.69.211 (talk • contribs).
- Yes, but it's a re-buy event, [[1]]
- Buy-In: $1,500
- Entries: 293 Rebuys/Add-ons: 880

Seniors event[edit]
Does anyone know the minimum age limit for the seniors event? Entheta 20:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
