Who will win the added value seat ?

who will join me in playing next weeks final game just to bully and rob chips from all those still with a winning chance.



Get registered, even if you cant win the prize for the league, you can still scoop the prizepool for tonights game.
And you can pick on those that need the points ... I cant wait :)

Not in with a shot, which means I badly need the practice.  Signed up and looking forward to it.

I have managed to wangle a pair of tickets to the below event ... blonde are adding these to tonights Final league game.

so regardless of league position, tonights game winner will get a pair of tickets to the launch party (date & venue at bottom of page.)

PARTYPOKER.COM PREMIER LEAGUE RETURNS WITH $1 MILLION PRIZE POOL!

HELLMUTH LEADS FIELD THAT FEATURES THREE NEW FACES!

JESSE MAY PREVIEWS THE ACTION

 

Gibraltar – 21st January 2008 -- PartyPoker.com is excited to announce the return of PartyPoker.com Premier League Poker in February. The groundbreaking format developed by Matchroom Sport, features 12 of the world’s best players playing in a unique league for a $1 million prize pool. The event takes place at 3 Mills Studio, London between 10th - 16th February and will be first broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK in late March.

 

With a system developed especially to showcase the legendary poker prowess of each player, they will play six times in the preliminary stages. The leading four players will then progress to the final table with the next four battling it out in heads-up matches for the final two seats. Each player will buy-in for $60,000, with PartyPoker.com adding $280,000 to make the pool $1 million, up from $500,000 last year. Nine of the twelve players from 2007’s successful event return with the new faces being “Flying Dutchman” Marcel Luske, Annie Duke and Alexander Kravchenko. As before, eleven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth will lead a top field that also includes Dave ‘The Devilfish’ Ulliott, Tony G, Andy Black, Ian Fraser, Roland De Wolfe, Vicky Coren, Juha Helppi and Eddy Scharf. 

 

Bookmakers www.partybets.com has opened a market on the tournament and make Devilfish the 5-1 favourite. Last year, Finland’s Juha Helppi won the title on his birthday, with Scharf finishing second and Hellmuth third. The pros cannot wait to lock horns again:

 

“After winning four out of six matches in the Premier League last year, I was in massive pain when Juha Helppi beat my K-K with his 8-7 off suit and made me finish third in the finale.  I told Helppi, "I'll be back!"  Now it's 2008, and here I come!" Phil Hellmuth

 

“It will be very hard to take this title from me. I will do anything it takes to defend it!” Juha Helppi

 

“Premier League is something I look forward to for months. It’s the best event in poker in my book. Last year was a disaster for me and I want to prove it was a freaky event. Only winning this year will make things right for me and I want to bust Hellmuth so… so… hard to get him on a boat back to the US.” Tony G

 

“I love this event – the league format irons out the injustices of the one-table heat because you get six chances, and that means there is plenty of time for needle and history to build up between the players. And I enjoy the fact that these particular players are all such performers: fearsome sportsmen, with a lot of money in play, but they all seem to have a lot of fun in this event, lots of rabble-rousing speeches and messing about on the side.” Vicky Coren

 

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said:  “Premier League Poker was an outstanding success last year with both players and viewers. Devilfish’s recent form makes him the favourite to win, a status that he is bound to embrace much to the annoyance of Hellmuth and Tony G.”

 

Eddie Hearn, Poker Director of Matchroom Sport said:  “"We are delighted to announce the line up for Premier League Poker II. It's great to welcome back the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Devilfish, Tony G and last year's champion Juha Helppi and we are also thrilled that Annie Duke, Marcel Luske and Alex Kravchenko will be joining the field. This is one of the strongest line up's assembled in poker and with the buy in increased to $60,000, coupled with the vast international tv distribution, Premier League Poker is now established as the world's leading televised poker event."

 

Before filming of the event gets underway on Sunday 10th February there is a pre-tournament party on the evening of Saturday 9th February at the Montague on the Gardens Hotel in Bloomsbury, London.

Ooooooooooh, good stuff Kev!

Will be there doing my bit to support my fellow blondes :)

good luck all - I'm proper skint until tomorrow so can't donate this time.

what time is it on?  I can't see it in the lobby

usual time, 8.30

is it a freeroll?

only 6 registered at the mo ... thats a bit disappointing

you cant count

I cannot play tonight so sadly my value is absent

As long as someone stops the machine that is Newport Lad ahead of the rugby this weekend, I'll be happy

Surely someone must stop him...please!

Theres no much chance of that!

Worry not, help is at hand. I can't play this, I'm out gallavanting tonight, but I've entered. So someone can nick my Chips, & use them to stop that damn Welsh Poker Machine.

Good Luck all!

PS - Please sign up, we seem a bit shy of runners right now. Thank you.

It's not in my lobby.  I guess I'm doing something wrong but I can't see it

I'm in... I think I lasted one hand in the last blonde comp I played...

Sorted, in too

 I'm in ......and we need Newport out! ;snoopy'sguns;

 

he hasnt registered yet !!

He has now...

Thing of nothing...where's that lever?

sigh ... and only 14 runners .... newport will walk it unless we get a few more ... the miners (leKnave, chip rich) havent registered yet, and they have a chance of winning !!

Dont tell them!!

perhaps they are caught in a "daisy chain"

I'm in - can play this week:)up.  So Englanders, how much is the bounty on Newportlad?

;D

I'm in..so who's paying me to take whom out?

YEAH!!!!!  It's 'Super Scooby' to the rescue!!!

LOL. Chip donking this way please .............lmao

its so easy when you have kipper kev on your table

He hit quads at the start against a full house and now this.....................Ironside's first ROYAL FLUSH!!!

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/Laxie/ironsideroyal.jpg)

Only for a mad hand against Kev, he was unstoppable!!!

I bashed Iron up real good :)

Pretty sure I didn't win a pot against anyone else.

hey it was fun


but i couldnt win a coin flip


and these fish couldnt lay a hand down

KK < 69o

so sick.  only just got up.

id've probs come last anyway.

gl whoever is left.

Just finished and Bongo took it down tonight.  WELL DONE!!!  Kev can let ye know how the points work out, but me tinks we have a tie.

Bongo wins!! 

Techno and Newportlad seem to have ballsed everything up by drawing. 

So the only way to determine a winner is for me and Kev to dress up in over-size costumes - one of us in a Scooby-doo outfit, the other dressed as a leek.  HU on a bouncy castle, Stuart hall commentating.  Winner gets the seat.

Proberly.

I'd pay money to watch that... They could both have a seat!

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

Live updates mandatory for that one...with norkage pics

Well .... They think its all over ...


BUT IT ISN'T !!!

Newport donked off outside the points as did Ecosse and Eck ... meaning Technolog needed a 4th place finish to secure the seat .... the daft mug finished 5th... so we have a tie.

now in my original post i stated that in the event of a tie, the person with the highest place finishes between the tied players will be declared the winner, if the scores are still level after that then we will arrange a play off event between the tied players.

but the kippers both had a win, a 5th and a blank ....  never bloody ends !

so I will have to enter negotiations with the two tied players as to where we go from here.... what do we reckin ??

A best of 3 heads up ??

roshambo ??

fight in car park ??

any other ideas ??

We both win seats!

Jack & myself are having a chat via PM

Pitch in 250 each and take 10% on each other...sorted. 

All sorted, the guys have decided that NewportLad will take the seat and he and Technolog have agreed a good % swap between them.

Congrats to both of them for the way this was all handled, all done in the blonde spirit ... superb stuff !!


So Good luck Darren in the event and if there is a poker god, I hope he rewards both you and Techno for your support to blonde and the cardroom with a decent score in the event.

Many thanks to everyone who took part in the mini league, and a big thanks to Stanleys for adding the Value to this one.

Great stuff!!!  Good luck!!!

Well done to Darren - I'm sure you'll all agree he's the man of the moment in these events - a worthy winner (anyway he had slightly better finishes than me so it's only fair). Part of the deal was he plays at Nottingham so I can come and rail him - lol beerandpokerandrailingaments!

Well done Newport..and well done both for the amicable negotiations
