DENMARK'S Per Laursen, China's Shi Yongsheng and Japanese star Tetsuya Wada have all qualified to play at the 2007 Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship.
All three will be making their debuts at the Circus Tavern this December when they join 61 other players from around the world competing for £500,000 in prize money.
Laursen will be the first Danish player at Purfleet after he finished top of the standings after a series of four qualifying events held this month.
The 40-year-old won three of the tournaments and was runner-up in the other to top the table ahead of Dennis Lindskjold.
He reached the last 16 at last year's Lakeside Championship and has previously lost to Holland's Raymond van Barneveld in the final of the World Cup Mens Pairs.
Shi Yongsheng (pictured) will succeed Tang Jun and Liu Cheng'An as China's representative at the Circus Tavern after he won their qualifying event at the weekend.
He played in the 2004 Global Cup, when he met Phil Taylor in round one.
Wada, a 23-year-old system engineer from Yokohama City, is the Japanese qualifier.
He succeeds Yasuhiko Matsunaga, who has competed in the past two World Championships, and is highly rated in Japan - where he was a leading karate exponent before suffering a knee injury.
