WSOP Europe launch party hits PURE

The infamous PURE nightclub at Caesars Palace - captain of the monosyllabic Vegas club scene and home to some of the bustiest and most spectacularly orange women you've ever seen - has hosted its fair share of hip and celebrity-packed events.

Phil Hellmuth's Fantasy Camp Opening Party. The Penthouse Swimwear Party. Uhh, Ryan Cabrera's 25th birthday.


And now, another sure to be star-studded and likely graced by the Hall of Fame Hellmuthian presence: the Official Launch Party of the World Series of Poker Europe presented by Betfair.com, set for Monday, July 16 at 9 p.m.

Also critically on the agenda at Caesars Palace Monday: satellites and pre-registration for the inaugural WSOP Europe tournament, set for Aug. 6-16 in London, England.

Single-table satellites will run at various times throughout the day, with $2,200 buy-ins and seats to the ₤10,000, 750-player Main Event being awarded, along with a free ticket to the launch party at PURE.

Pre-registrations for the WSOPE will also be accepted at the main cage in Caesars Palace.

Currently, pre-registration is open outside the WSOP at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and at http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com.

Both 2006 WSOP Main Event winner Jamie Gold and Hellmuth have already committed to play in London, the first-time ever a WSOP bracelet will be awarded outside of the U.S.
