World Open VI – Laak, Timoshenko, Devilfish and more to play
PartyPoker’s World Open VI has just been confirmed. The event will take place from 6th September until 10th September 2010 in Palm Beach Casino in the heart of Mayfair, London.
The buy-in is $10,000, 48 players will participate making the total prize pool of $480,000 – the winner will take $200,000. The starting stacks are tripled, there are eight seater heats and seven players will be on the final table.
Phil Laak won the event last year and is ready to defend: “Last year was a wild roller coaster ride. This year I am looking forward to coming back to defend my title – it is ideal that it comes straight off the back off the WPT London Poker Classic – hopefully I can win both!”
Commentary will be provided by Jesse May, the action will be presented by Kara Scott and the show will be broadcast on channel Five in the UK later in the year. Spectators are welcome to come down to the Palm Beach Casino and watch the action.
