This years premier league has just begun on channel 4, and its not one to miss! For those of you unfamiliar with this, its a league containing 12 of the greatest poker players. Each player plays 6 6-man tables, and gets points depending on where they finish. At the end of the 6 games, the top 4 advance to the final table, the bottom 4 are out and the middle 4 play heads-up playoffs to determine to the final 2 seats at the final table. The winner of the final table recieves $1.25million and the coveted trophy!
The 3rd Premier Leagues mixes the old with the new. Old players return such as Phil Hellmuth, Tony G and last years winner, Andy Black. But we also see new players enter the game such as JC Tran, Peter Eastgate (2008 WSOP main event champion) and Tom Dwan.
The first match played saw JC Tran pick up the maximum 10 points, and the Devilfish leave with 0.
Look out for this on channel 4!
