Taking ESPN's place as the main broadcaster for many WSOP European events, PKR will air the footage from its own World Series Web site.

"The World Series of Poker is without doubt the biggest event of the poker calendar, and it fills me with delight that PKR has managed to scoop exclusive rights to be the official broadcaster for these 24-bracelet events,” said Simon Prodger, PKR.com's marketing director, in a statement.

Along with the live broadcast, PKR said it will also be the exclusive non-United States sponsor of the World Series of Poker Web site.
