The World Series of Poker (WSOP), the richest sporting event on the planet, continues to attract the world’s best poker players and 2012 will be no different with thousands of players already getting seriously excited about the tournament.

With Black Friday hitting thousands of poker players who have been searching for online qualifiers for the 2012 WSOP, many legal and licensed European poker rooms have been stepping in to help people qualify online for the 2012 World Series of Poker. 

The WSOP is the most famous series of poker tournaments the world has ever seen and since Benny Binion invited six of the best poker players on the planet to play with him at the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas in 1970, the tournament has never looked back.

Players may qualify through the ranking system for a nationally televised Circuit championship bracelet event with a $1 million prize and victory
in the series guarantees a place at the top table in the poker community.

PartyPoker is offering the following opportunities to climb your way up and win the WSOP 2012 packages:

What you can win!

What started out with just six players in 1970 has turned into the game's grandest spectacle, with more than 75,000 entrants competing for more than $192,000,000 in prize money in front of ESPN cameras for poker's most prized possession - a WSOP bracelet.

2012 marks the 43rd annual World Series of Poker (WSOP), a collection of now 61 distinct tournaments in all variations of poker, with buy-ins ranging from $500 to $1,000,000 per event. An astounding 480 poker tables are set up in 125,000 square feet of ballroom space at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas where poker players from more than 105 different nations converge in the annual "Woodstock for Poker."
