Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles July 31, 2008 -- The World Series of Poker* Europe returns for its second edition this September with bigger prize pools and an extra bracelet in tow, and PokerListings.com players will have 20 exclusive chances to qualify through an upcoming private freeroll at Betfair Poker.

Total freeroll value is $11,000, with 20 seats in the final Betfair $550 WSOPE satellite to be awarded. Freeroll is scheduled for Sept. 3, 2008, and is open to all PokerListings players at Betfair who earn 250 points August 1-31.

The main $550 satellite at Betfair then runs Sept. 7, with 20 massive WSOP Europe main event prize packages up for grabs.

"As the inaugural World Series of Europe showed last year," says Hannah Mayen, media relations director at PokerListings.com, "moving the most storied event in poker across the pond lost nothing to translation.

"The players were absolutely A-list, the atmosphere was equally electric, and the iconic gold bracelet carried the same weight and prestige it always has. It was a seamless transition and an undeniable success, and edition two we can only expect to be more of the same," continued Mayen. "We're delighted to give our players such a premium opportunity to be a part of it and to be involved with a world-class poker room such as Betfair."

Players yet to sign up at Betfair Poker should also take note of the world-best PokerListings.com sign-up bonus of up to $1,500 at 100% - almost three times the standard bonus of up to $600. The bonus is available to all new players who sign up via PokerListings link with bonus code PL1500.

Also available for PokerListings.com players at Betfair are private monthly $2,500 cash freerolls, which are open to all players, new or existing, who earn 100 Betfair Points in a month.
