There were two seven seat semi-finals and now one six seat final. The top three players in each of the semi-finals have taken their chip stacks through to the final. The total prize pool is $504,000 with first place scooping $200,000.
The final table includes current European rankings topper Marc Goodwin. Joining Goodwin is Andy Ward, who as well as being a PartyPoker.com $300k Guaranteed winner, finished fourth in the PartyPoker.com World Open IV for $30,000. 46-year-old Worcester internet sports trader Craig Burgess has made the final table for the second year running and will be looking to go one better after finishing runner-up for $100,000 to Nick Slade at the PartyPoker.com European Open IV in 2008.
