WSOP Lives Up To Its Name For Europeans

The 2009 WSOP is set to live up to its name and be the true "World" Series of Poker. Players from all over Europe and Asia are about to descend on the gambling mecca of the world, Las Vegas.

If last year's main event is any indication of just how worldwide this event has become with players from 125 countries around the world represented, this year with Peter Griffin's (from "Family Guy") formation of "Petoria" there will most likely be at least 126 countries playing in this years World Series.

While the main event does not start until the beginning of July, there are still many other smaller events Starting today. Here is a list below, (although the formatting stinks, but you get the idea). If you want to qualify for a seat online for free, visit SunPoker.com.
