Spokesperson for the site, Andrew Pantling said, "With our stable of Matchbook poker pros chomping at the bit to get involved in this market in-running we’re guaranteed to have the best liquidity of any betting exchange for poker fans.
“We also asked James Bord to keep his mouth shut this time after his recent WSOPE pronouncements that UK players were better than US players which got Tony G involved in the betting and ended up costing us $144,000 in refunded bets. Thanks James!”
Bord has changed his stance for the main event final table in Las Vegas and is backing his friend Ben Lamb to win. The former WSOP Europe main event champion said, “The smart money is on Lamb. USA, USA, USA! "
Action starts at 3.30 p.m. (ET) on Sunday with a 15-minute broadcast delay on ESPN2.
