The PartyPoker.com World Open IV takes place in London between 25th April – 2nd May 2008 and will feature a top class field led by ‘Ambassador of Poker’ Mike Sexton. PartyBets.com is offering odds on the event and make recent Irish Open winner Neil Channing the 16/1 favourite. Sexton is available at 28/1.

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!
