Last year the coastal city of Cannes, Frances was flush with big headlines when the World Series of Poker paid a visit for the 2012 WSOP Europe series.  We all remember Phil Hellmth's memorable 13th bracelet win in the Main Event, but that was the cherry on top of two weeks of incredible poker moments. We saw One Drop winner Antonio Esfandiari win his second bracelet of the year just weeks after winning the biggest payday in poker history. We saw Francisco da Costa Santos win Portgual's first-ever bracelet, then we saw Jon Aguiar make it two by defeating Brandon Cantu in the much-discussed final round of the Mix Max event.
 
With this year's WSOP Europe in Paris just over two weeks away, it seemed like a good time as any to revisit some of the highlights. David Tuchman and the livestreaming crew were on hand for all of the preliminary bracelet action. Let's take a walk down memory lane with some of our most memorable streams from last year's event:

If you've ever watched the World Series of Poker and thought that could be me, you're not alone. Since 1970, the WSOP has been the place where that dream lives. Most people know the summer series in Las Vegas, where the $10,000 Main Event turns ordinary players into legends. But the WSOP calendar has grown well beyond that. WSOP Europe and WSOP Paradise now bring bracelet competition to international destinations, and dozens of Circuit events run year-round for players who want serious competition closer to home. Whether you're grinding a Circuit stop or taking your shot at the Main Event, the hardware means something. Winning a gold bracelet or Circuit ring is more than just a trophy. It's a permanent record that you are a champion. For players in Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, WSOP Online has become something worth paying attention to. It's the only platform in the US where you can win a poker tournament for official WSOP gold bracelets without leaving home! The WSOP also offers deposit limits and self-exclusion tools because the best poker rooms have always known that keeping poker players healthy keeps the game healthy. From your first Circuit event to a final table in Las Vegas, WSOP is still where you go to prove something.
