The World Series of Poker has added a €1,000 Ladies Championship to the 2026 WSOP Europe schedule, with the event set to debut in Prague on Saturday, April 4. The winner will receive a specially designed gold bracelet featuring additional gemstones.
The women-only event has been added to the WSOP Europe lineup, which also includes the €10,000,000-guaranteed Main Event, one of the largest guaranteed tournaments ever held in Europe.

We want this to be the definitive Ladies Event on the continent.”
