In recent years the World Series of Poker Main Event has come to signify a kind of culmination to what has become a year-round schedule full of WSOP-related events.
Starting in 2005, the World Series of Poker Circuit has included non-bracelet events occurring throughout the year. Since 2007, the World Series of Poker Europe has added more events during the years it has been held, with a total of 11 gold bracelets due to be won at the upcoming 2017 WSOPE at King's Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic this fall.
