The 2023 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) at King’s Resort in Rozvadov was a remarkable event, showcasing an array of international poker talent. With a series of 15 events, the WSOPE brought together a diverse group of poker enthusiasts, each aiming for the coveted gold bracelet.
Max Neugebauer’s Stellar Victory in the Main Event
The highlight of the series was undoubtedly the Main Event, where Max Neugebauer, a former professional basketball player from Austria, claimed victory. Standing at an impressive six feet eight inches, Neugebauer dominated the event, both in physical presence and poker skill. Overcoming a record-breaking field of 817 entries, he not only won the €1,500,000 top prize but also earned his first WSOP gold bracelet. This win marked a significant milestone in his poker career, especially poignant given his transition from basketball due to knee issues.
