PokerStars and their buddies continue their relationship with the seven-time World Snooker Champion, Stephen Hendry, with BetStars sponsoring him for the 2017 Seniors World Championships in Scunthorpe.

Seven-times World Snooker Champion, Stephen Hendry MBE, has extended his partnership with the PokerStars family business after their sports betting arm BetStars announced plans to sponsor him at the upcoming 2017 Super Star Online World Seniors Championships.

The first time the pair climbed into bed with one another was at the PokerStars Festival in London where Hendry appeared in the £990 buy-in Main Event. The former World Champion didn’t make the money but did take home the consolation prize of winning the media event, and that’s not a bad score when you consider PokerStars Team Pros Jake Cody, Liv Boeree, and Felipe Ramos were throwing chips around in that one.

The Seniors World Championships takes place March 22 – 24 at The Baths Hall in Scunthorpe. The event is classic golden oldies event featuring non-tour players aged 40+. The winner not only picks up a £10,000 purse but a wildcard entry into the World Championship Qualifying Rounds.
