As you may have read from our pre-event coverage, last night saw the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe kick off with a swanky party here at the Empire Casino. The drinks flowed freely as many of the games top professional players mingled in anticipation of the week's action.

You can check out our Video Gallery to see some great footage from the party.

During the party, a charity tournament, "Ante Up for Africa," was held, with many players jumping in for the £500 entry. Fresh from the success at this year's WSOP in Vegas, the event is designed to aid the relief effort for Darfur region in war-torn Sudan. Las Vegas local and 'accountant to the stars' Marissa Chien was the eventual winner, earning a seat in the $5000 Ante Up for Africa event in Vegas.
