But, for those players who are eliminated from the action in San Jose – and even for some of those who are still competing – the WPT’s upcoming European leg promises some fun times and amazing action.

Players like Scott Seiver, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari, and Jonathan Duhamel are all dusting off their passports and getting ready to jump across the pond for what promises to be an amazing double-header; the inaugural WPT National London tournament at Aspers Casin0 (March 15 – 19) and the sixth edition of PartyPoker.com’s unique Premier League, filmed at Aspers from March 17 – 23. Hosted by the irrepressible Kara Scott, this year’s Premier League  event is an invitation-only, 16-player tournament featuring a massive $125,000 buy-in.

When the festivities wind down in London, things will just be heating up on the Continent when players like Sam Trickett, Marvin Rettenmaier, Phil Hellmuth, and Tony G party Italian style at the televised WPT Gioco Digitale WPT Venice Grand Prix from March 25 – 30. Of course, your favorite WPT cast members like Mike Sexton, Vince Van Patten, Kimberly Lansing, and the WPT Royal Flush Girls will all be on hand as well, so you won’t miss a moment of the action.

Check out the full WPT schedule and think about joining us for an amazing Spring Fling in Europe.
