The PartyPoker.com Sports Stars Challenge is back from May 29 to Jun. 1 in London and for the first time ever Matchroom Sport has included heats for motorsport pros, top golfers, and online qualifiers. Some of the sports stars taking part are Formula 1 driver Giancarlo Fisichella; world class golfers Graeme McDowell and Jean Van Der Velde; football legends such as Frank De Boer, Frank Leboeuf, and Jan Molby; boxers Sven Ottke and Martin Rogan, and many others.
Players at the site were given the opportunity to win a seat via a freeroll in the sports heat of their choice, and two online qualifiers will join each heat. The overall winner will receive £20,000, second place will see £10,000, and third, £5,000. Last year’s winner was recent Irish Open second place finisher Kara Scott.
