![[user68268]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Here's a look at the World Series of Poker Europe events over the years leading up until 2011. The largest prize ever won was by Annette Obrestad in 2007 when she emerged victorious in the Main Event for £1,000,000. Also note that all of the events prior to 2011 were held in London at the Casino at the Empire. All buy-ins and prizes are in British pounds, but will be in Euros this year.
