"Anyone who has been following this year's series coverage in Vegas has to be as caught up in the thrill and excitement that comes with the World Series as we are," says Hannah Mayen, media relations director at PokerListings.com.

"It's been a stunning tournament to this point, with so much great poker, so many worthy champions and so many incredible stories. And it's not even at the halfway point," continued Mayen. "As the inaugural World Series of Europe showed last year, the same holds true across the pond and we can only expect the same in London."
