PartyPoker and Matchroom Sport are working together to host the fourth annual PartyPoker Women’s World Open. The online poker room recently announced the schedule for the event which will take place in London, England on March 23rd and the 24th. Twenty four of the best women poker players in the world will be participating in the competition.
Confirmed to participate in the tournament is Annette Obrestad, Kara Scott, Shelley Rubenstein, Laurence Grondin, Stefanie Bergener, Christine Klecz, Pippa Flanders, Maria Demetriou, Soraya Homam, Women’s World Open III winner Aisling Collins and the runner up Wooka Kim.
The tournament will have a buy-in of $3,000 and this should create a $72,000 prize pool. The format of the tournament will see that the top two players of each of the three deep stacked eight handed heats will move to the six handed final table.
“The PartyPoker.com Women’s World Open has proved extremely popular with players, viewers and broadcasters over the last three seasons,” stated Eddie Hearn the matchroom sport director. “As the game continues to grow, we have made a number of changes to our formats that enables the viewers to watch a deeper-stacked game with more skill, where players can really showcase their ability and flair.”ÂÂ
A spokesperson for PartyPoker commented: “Last year Aisling proved that Britain’s got talent, but the same can be said about Japan in the form of Wooka Kim. Both will be strong contenders for the title this year. We’ve made the stacks deeper and the competition is just as fierce.”
