PartyPoker World Open Reaches Capacity

The PartyPoker World Open in London is all set to get underway on 27 April 2007 with a sell-out 72 player capacity.

The televised tourney features a $7,000 buy-in with a total prize pool in excess of $500,000 and is expected to lure some big-name poker pros, including Roland De Wolfe, Tony G, Vicky Coren, Dave 'The Devilfish' Ulliott and, for the first time in the tourney�s history, all four members of the Hendon Mob. The expected payout for the winner is $200,000.

Last year's winner was Pippa Flanders, a well respected pro from Preston, UK. Pippa inadvertently booked a luxury cruise later this month and will therefore be unable to defend her title. In her place, however, is her 23-year-old daughter Charlotte.

'The field is the strongest in the tournament's history and we're very pleased,� commented a PartyPoker spokesman. �It's a shame that Pippa Flanders isn't back to defend her crown but Charlotte is sure to defend the title valiantly and fair well in such prestigious company.'
