WSOP Europe Over the Years
Here's a look at the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event over the years. Number of entrants stayed roughly the same from 2007-2010 while the event was in London, but then the move to Cannes happened for 2011 and an increase of over 70% was received.
| Year | Entrants | Champion | 1st-Place Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2007 | 362 | Annette Obrestad | £1,000,000 |
| 2008 | 362 | John Juanda | £868,800 |
| 2009 | 334 | Barry Shulman | £801,603 |
| 2010 | 346 | James Bord | £830,401 |
| 2011 | 593 | Elio Fox | €1,400,000 |
All of the field sizes have been down this year, and that is also expected for the Main Event. Still, there will more than likely be 500 players in the field, which is nothing to sneeze at.
