WSOP E Real Bracelet or Not?

Maybe they should start handing out bracelets for all the WSOP circuit events also, since it has the WSOP name on it.

I have no problem counting them as bracelets. However, much like in baseball, where we have World Series and "postseason" records, we should have WSOP records, and WSOP Circuit records, which count all wins in the WSOP, WSOP-E and any other WSOP-branded events.

Mitch, I agree with your sentiment, but saying

It also had a better structure than even the $50k HORSE.

is just ridiculous. I played both, and the 50k had a MUCH better structure, although the one in london wasn't bad.

How can you say a 3 day tournament had a better structure than a 5 day one with a similar number of entries?

I did see something I have never seen in a limit tournament: someone busted the first level - Marcel Luske. I was at his table, and he certainly was playing loose, but wasn't playing unreal terrible or anything like that.

Edit: FWIW I voted that they count. Originally I was a bit skeptical, but after playing both the events here and in Vegas, I think these should count as being even more prestigious. Tougher fields and bigger buyins.

How is this even a real question?

The bellagio Cup gave out bracelets, Do these count?

This is the dumbest question ever. The WSOP and WSOPE are two separate events. \

You can win a WSOPE braclet

and a WSOP bracelet
and a WSOOP bracelet
and a Bellagio Cup bracelet....
and...
and...

THEY ARE DIFFERENT EVENTS!! Sorry EU, you are not special.

My point was that this event held in EU is not special. I do not remember referring to America as special in anyway. I think it would be awesome if WSOPE continues to be or grows into a premier event. However, please tell me you agree that the WSOP and WSOPE are completely different events and that the "Do they count" question doesn't make much senses?

What do they count for?

If the poker community begins to see that WSOPE events have harder fields, it is very possible that WSOPE bracelets become more prestegious. I.e. so and so is a 5 time WSOPE bracelet winner....

However, I don't see how bracelets won in a different event will ever "count" as WSOP bracelets.

Am I the only one who sees no logic in this question?

[Joe Tall]

If you win the Stud Eight or Better event during the WSOP, it sure does count.

Does the Pound count as real money? Then I don't care either way...

The only real bracelet is the Main Event and the deuce to 7 lowballz... all hail Yang. Suckers.
