Can you advise some good books covering areas which are required for serious probability theory studies (e.g. measure theory, functional analysis)? Preferably this book should have some problem sets to work on. Thanks!

0The answers should be cw as well. Or do they become automatically? – 2010-09-26

For a broad overview in one book at a graduate level, it is hard to beat Foundations of Modern Probability (Second edition) by Olav Kallenberg. His presentation is classroom tested, and many standard complicated proofs have been made very concise. I'm a big fan of this book!
Pollard, A User's Guide to Measure Theoretic Probability
A quite new and german one: Klenke, Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie.

Take a look at "Measure Theory and Probability" by A.K. Basu. This book has lots of problem sets in them and contains some serious probabilty theory. It developed measure theory with probability as the main application. Also through-out the book there are examples which were really helpful.

Dudley, Real Analysis and Probability
Billingsley, Probability and Measure.
Jacod and protter is great.
Probability Theory: A Comprehensive Course by Klenke is worth looking at too.
