We report the discovery of the microlensing planet OGLE-201 8-BLG-0740Lb. The planet is detected with a very strong signal of Delta chi(2) similar to 4630, but the interpretation of the signal suffers from two types of degeneracies. One type is caused by the previously known close/wide degeneracy, and the other is caused by an ambiguity between two solutions, in which one solution requires the incorporation of finite-source effects, while the other solution is consistent with a point-source interpretation. Although difficult to be firmly resolved based on only the photometric data, the degeneracy is resolved in strong favor of the point-source solution with the additional external information obtained from astrometric and spectroscopic observations. The small astrometric offset between the source and baseline object supports that the blend is the lens and this interpretation is further secured by the consistency of the spectroscopic distance estimate of the blend with the lensing parameters of the point-source solution. The estimated mass of the host is 1.0 +/- 0.1 M-circle dot and the mass of the planet is 4.5 +/- 0.6 M-J (close solution) or 4.8 +/- 0.6 M-J (wide solution) and the lens is located at a distance of 3.2 +/- 0.5 kpc. The bright nature of the lens, with I similar to 17.1 (V similar to 18.2), combined with its dominance of the observed flux suggest that radial-velocity (RV) follow-up observations of the lens can be done using high-resolution spectrometers mounted on large telescopes, e.g., Very Large Telescope/ESPRESSO, and this can potentially not only measure the period and eccentricity of the planet but also probe for close-in planets. We estimate that the expected RV amplitude would be similar to 60 sin i m s(-1).
