The 5th Annual World Series of Poker Europe relocated to Cannes, France, where another increase in events would see seven on the schedule. Andrew Hinrichsen and Tristan Wade broke through to win their first WSOP bracelets, while Steve Billirakis and Michael Mizrachi added to their collection. The Main Event title would head to the USA as Elio Fox defeated Chris Moorman to pocket the €1.4 million first-place prize.
