The famous televised event sees 16 qualifiers battle it out in a five-hour match to take home one of the most prestigious titles in angling - the PartyPoker.com Fish 'O' Mania XVIIII Championship.

Cleveland's Adam Richards was the final man to book his place in the main event courtesy of his win at the Doncaster qualifiers a fortnight ago.

Richards starts out as the 8/1 joint favourite to lift the title after he won through a field of 270 anglers at the qualifiers with a final total of 63kilos, 350grams.

Jamie Hughes mastered the atrocious conditions at the fourth qualifier at Woodlands View Fishery to win a place in the grand final for a second time and is also a well fancied 8/1 chance.

Angling consultant Rob Wootton is next in the market at 9/1. The Leicester ace bagged seven weights over the magic ton to seal his place in the big event last month.

Last year's champion Shane Atkin is among five competitors priced at 10/1; the 31-year-old, also a resident in the fishing hotspot of Cleveland, qualified from the penultimate event via peg 23 at the far end of the Woodlands Lakes in Thirsk to compile 78lb 12oz of common and mirror carp in his winning net.

Care worker by day, Atkins proved his calibre at the 2011 event when he prevailed from a vastly experienced field by over 5kg to claim victory and he will be determined to hold onto the crown for another year.

The close proximity of the odds reflects the fact that the anglers are unaware as to which pegs they will fish from, a factor which may offer an advantage to those positioned favourably according to the weather and current.

The event gets underway at 12pm on Saturday July 14 from the Cudmore Fisheries in Newcastle Under Lyme.
