The inaugural PartyPoker Women’s World Open is underway in London, and runs until Friday 10th August. The 36 runner field features the strongest line-up ever assembled for a women’s poker tournament in Europe and bookmakers www.PartyBets.com make Liz Lieu the 6/1 favourite to win.

A PartyBets.com spokesman said: “Liz is one of the most fearsome players in the world and her performances at PartyPoker Premier League poker mean we had to make her favourite. The UK’s Katherine Hartree is not far behind. Over the last couple of years Katherine has been one of the most consistent female poker players in Europe and she has the knowledge and experience in this format.”

Others in the field include Jennifer Tilly (9/1) and Shannon Elizabeth (33/1).
