Just two weeks after its stop in Madrid, the World Series of Poker Circuit and Texapoker return to Belgium for another edition of WSOPC Middelkerke at Casino Middelkerke.
Last year's edition attracted 414 players to the shores of the North Sea, with the Main Event won by none other than Omar Lakhdari for €118,000. The victory earned him his first-ever WSOPC ring. Since then, he has added two more to his collection at the recent WSOPC Paris.
