|
Hot on the heels of last week’s announcement that the Big Game was returning to TV screens this year PartyPoker has upped the ante with the news that the Premier League will return for its sixth renewal this spring.
The $125,000 buy in event is set to run from March 17 to 23 at London’s swish Aspers Casino at Westfield Stratford City. Sixteen of the world’s top pros will be invited to take part in the event which will be filmed for TV broadcast later in the year.
The Premier League’s unique structure sees the 16 players split into two groups of eight. Each player plays four league matches to earn points worth $2,000 per point with the top three from each group progressing to the final table and fourth and fifth place in each group playing heads up for the final two spots.
Recent PCA High Roller winner Scott Seiver won the PartyPoker.com Premier League V.
Aspers will also host the £1,500 buy in re-entry World Poker Tour National London from March 15 to 19.
John Scanlon of Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City said: “We are all excited about the PartyPoker.com Premier League and PartyPoker.com WPT National London coming to Aspers Casino and believe we have something to offer poker players at all different levels.
“We will shortly publish a comprehensive schedule of events running in March very soon. We have cash games for all levels running 24/7 already and our standard tournament schedule has regular specials like Turbo and Triple Chance. It is easy to join in the fun.”
