Mike Sexton to Play Party Poker World Open'Ambassador of Poker' Joins Star-Studded Lineup for World Open |
|
The fourth PartyPoker.com World Open, taking place in London from April 25-May 2, will see “Ambassador of Poker” Mike Sexton take to the felt alongside recent Irish Open champion and 16/1 favourite Neil Channing.
A PartyBets.com spokesman said, “There was no choice but to make Neil Channing favourite to win, considering his form, but he does have a strong heat featuring his pal Mick McCool. 16/1 may be far too short a price to back for the man they used to call ‘Bad Beat,’ but now ‘One Out,’ but we’ve been getting stung on these markets and are taking aversive action! Others who have attracted early interest include Ben Roberts and Andrew Feldman.
Ian Frazer, Ross Boatman, Jon Kalmar, Thomas Bihl, Roy Brindley, Surinder Sunar, and Liam Flood will all take their seats in the 72 player $8,000 buy-in event trying to win the first prize of $250,000.
Matchroom Sport is organising the event, which will be broadcast on Channel 5 in the UK later this year. The winner of each of the 12 heats will proceed to the semifinal, and the runners-up in the heats will play turbo heats for the remaining two semifinal places.
