What Did WSOPE 2017 Look Like?

World Series of Poker 2018 is currently underway, and the hype is real! We have seen so far a couple of exquisite events with several unexpected winners taking gold bracelets with the combination of skill, focus, and luck. As we expect for the new events to conclude and the Main Event to commence, we will take a short overview of the winners and the events that were a part of last year’s WSOPE.
It happened in the Czech Republic and there were a total of 12 events. However, not all of them included gold bracelets as a final reward. In fact, 11 were with a bracelet, while one had a bit different kind of final trophy.
