PartyPoker extends title sponsorship of Mosconi Cup

Online poker operator PartyPoker has extended a title sponsorship deal for pool’s Mosconi Cup.

The tournament will continue to be known as the PartyPoker Mosconi Cup until at least 2020.

The Mosconi Cup operates in a similar way to golf’s Ryder Cup, pitting two teams of professional players from Europe and the US against each other in a series of games.

This year’s event will take place at Alexandra Palace in London, UK, from December 4-7.

Team Europe has won the last eight editions of the event, with the US having failed to lift the trophy since the 2009 tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada.
