Heat seven was eventful and, unsurprisingly, Tom Dwan was at the centre of it all with a mixture of creative play that bamboozled his opponents and good fortune at key times. Again the heat was fantastic for JC Tran, who finished 2nd for 6 points as his domination of the Premier League continued. When it got heads-up Dwan led 490,000 – 110,000 and it was all over very quickly. ‘Durrrr’ pushed all-in with Ac 7c and was called by Tran with Q7 off-suit. An ace of the flop was enough to take it down. After the maximum on day three Phil Hellmuth ended up with the bagel busting out for 0 points. Tony G finished 5th for 2 points, Nenad Medic 4th for 3 points, with Roland de Wolfe in 3rd for 4 points.
Heat eight saw another win for Peter Eastgate, who continues to impress on his Premier League debut. This heat also saw Juha Helppi pick up 6 valuable points as runner-up. The heat was very fast and ended-up heads-up after just 71 hands. Helppi held a strong advantage over Eastgate leading 463,000 – 137,000 but the WSOP champion showed his mettle to claw his way back and snatch victory from the season one Premier League winner. The decisive hand saw Helppi raise with KJ off-suit and pushed all-in by Eastgate with AK. Nothing came on the flop and the Dane consolidated his second position in the league table behind JC Tran. First out for the bagel and zero points was Andy Black and finishing 5th was Annette Obrestad for 2 points. Devilfish finished 4th for 3 points as he continues to be dreadfully unlucky and in desperate need of a break. Vicky Coren finished 3rd for 4 points and continues to impressively accumulate points.

HELLMUTH IS BACK IN THE RACE! EASTGATE WINS! DISASTER FOR DEVILFISH!
Dezember 10, 2008
London – 27th November 2008 – Day three at the http://www.partypoker.com Premier League III saw a reverse of the results on day two as both Peter Eastgate and Phil Hellmuth picked up the maximum 10 points from their heats. Eastgate completely dominated his heat while Hellmuth finally found some form to bring him back into contention for Sunday’s final table.

Heat five at the start of day three was hugely eventful. All the previous heats had seen very few eliminations in early levels but this game was different and it very quickly become a heads-up battle between JC Tran and Peter Eastgate. The 2008 WSOP Main Event champion completely run over the field and looked to be home and dry but the blinds were only at 2,000 – 4,000. Eastgate sat with 541,000 to Tran’s 59,000, a very different scenario to when the pair met on day one when the chip counts going into the heads-up stage were more level. Remarkably, as a 9-1 underdog, Tran fought back to hold the chip lead. Eastgate, however, eventually got his revenge for his defeat at the hands of Tran on day one to pick up 10 points. Eastgate pushed all-in with K3 and was called by Tran with A7. A king on the flop was enough to seal the deal for the $9 million Dane.
With 6 points from the heat, however, JC is the man to beat and holds a very comfortable lead at the top of the league table and he looks set to qualify for the deep-stacked final table on Sunday. In this heat, Obrestad got the bagel, Helppi 2 points, Medic 3 points and Coren 4 points.
Heat six was the noisiest yet boasting a great line-up of Hellmuth, Tony G, Devilfish, Roland de Wolfe, Tom Dwan and Andy Black. By the time shuffle and deal was called the players were at each others throat with there seeming to be a competition on who could turn up the latest and hold-up the production. The Devilfish’s dreadful luck in the Premier League continued as he busted with 0 points. Unsurprisingly, the instigator of his downfall was Dwan, whose bet frequency throughout the whole of the Premier League so far has been way above that of any other player. Dwan raised to 10k with Q7 off-suit, Devilfish called with KQ off-suit. The flop came 77K with a Q on the river and all the money went in. The chances of the Fish finally getting a run together in the Premier League now look slim as he only has 3 points.
‘Durrr’ busted Tony G next for 2 points and Andy Black for 3 points but then went himself in third place for 4 points at the expense of Hellmuth after pushing it just a little too much. This left Hellmuth and De Wolfe heads-up with Roland leading 319,000 to 281,000. After days where it seemed that the ‘Poker Brat’ was getting outgunned by the newcomers he showed great form with some majestic calls and laydowns. Hellmuth chipped away at De Wolfe but was the subject of good fortune in the hand that gave him his eventual victory. Roland re-raised all-in with AQ off-suit and Phil called with Kc10c. It was looking great for Roland until a king came on the river to secure Hellmuth 10 points.

TRAN AND TONY G TRIUMPH ON DAY ONE OF PARTYPOKER.COM PREMIER LEAGUE III
Dezember 10, 2008
Tran derailed the Eastgate juggernaut in the Dane’s first appearance following his $9 million WSOP Main Event triumph. The heads-up between Tran and Eastgate was grueling but after a number of swings it was Tran who triumphed. Eastgate started the heads-up with the advantage, holding 395,000 to Tran’s 205,000 but there was to be no repeat of Eastgate’s clinical heads-up destruction of Ivan Demidov at the WSOP Main Event final table as Tran brought the world champion down to earth with a bang. The final hand saw Eastgate push all-in with Q3 off-suit, with JC instantly calling with AK off-suit. The board failed to bring anything for either player. First out for a bagel was David ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott, whose rotten run in the Premier League continues. The top three in the heat were all making their Premier League debuts, with Annette Obrestad finishing third for four points.
In heat two there was huge anticipation ahead of the first match-up between Phil Hellmuth and Tom ‘Durrr’ Dwan. The very first hand saw Dwan flop a full-house only for the ‘Poker Brat’ to hit a flush on the turn. With the history of their animosity from the NBC Heads-Up Championship in the minds of all those who watching it was a bad spot for the 11 time WSOP bracelet winner. Hellmuth eventually made the huge lay down but his stack took a pounding. The ‘Poker Brat’ recovered well to finish fourth, while Dwan continued to look for action whenever he could find it. At the heads-up stage Dwan held the advantage but when his 88 failed to hold up after Tony G had gone all-in with J10 offsuit the advantage swung dramatically in the favour of the ‘mouth from down under.’ Tony dominated the league heats in season two and has kicked-off this Premier League campaign with ten valuable points.
http://www.partypoker.com Premier League III sees the buy-in elevated to $75,000 and the added money increased to $350,000, making a total prize pool of $1.25 million.

JESSE MAY’S PARTYPOKER.COM PREMIER LEAGUE III PREVIEW
Dezember 10, 2008
Stunned. Elated. Tingles in my hands and toes. These are the feelings that I’ve been having when contemplating the line-up for Premier League III. All I can say, is this tournament has finally arrived.
Give credit where credit is due. The Premier League has reached this point because of Matchroom’s commitment that it will be for the best poker players in the world. This is harder than you think, because that goal must be balanced by demands of the broadcaster and sponsor. It’s not easy, but Eddie Hearn created a wish list and then went out and got those players personally. On the plus side, almost no invitations go rejected. The exposure of the tournament, it’s growing prestige, plus the value of the added prize money is such that you must be thick in the head not to want to play in the Premier League.
Of course there is also the ego factor. If you think you’ve got game, if you think you can hang with the best and perhaps even dominate them, the Premier League is the arena. The format may not be perfect, the skill set may be tad specialized, but the Premier League is an arena where greatness is on display and genius happens.
This year, the Premier League has not just been infused. It’s been turbo injected with serious poker skill, and I think this is the first year where there will be absolutely no way to make the final table without playing poker a cut above the rest. I think this is where the six seater one table format gets its legs kicked out from under it and its clothes ripped off, naked as a bird on a wire. The definitive question will be answered once and for all, who can play under these conditions best. What skills win?
What else makes the Premier League unique is drama and conflict. The fact that they are all cooped up in a hotel for eight days, all the big egos, thrown together like Big Brother, means there is no escape. It’s 24/7, what with the prop betting, the bar, the Chinese poker, the fights and the arguments. And every year people crack up. If you have a sick sense of voyeurism, this is the can not miss that adds to poker perfection.
In that vein, I’ve made notes on each player in a predicted order of finish. In addition, I’ve listed what I think will be the two biggest personal dynamics each player will have to deal with. First, who is most likely to get under their skin, to be the cause of them boiling over. And second, which player they most have to watch out for in the game itself. The potential fireworks are off the chart. Whether I’m right or wrong, it’s no matter. I’m just glad to be able to watch it unfold.
12. Vicky Coren
Kind of lost in the blur between Vicky Coren’s results and expectations is the fact that since the time when she won the half million pounds at the London EPT, she is one of the most improved players on the European scene. She did have ground to make up, and I say that with all due respect. Vicky’s a gamer, she has never shied away from the competition and it just goes to show that the best way to improve your poker is to match up with the best on a regular basis. I think Vicky can be compared with former world champion Bill Smith. TJ Cloutier once told me about Smith, he said, “When sober, Bill Smith was way too tight, and when drunk he was hopeless. But catch Bill Smith when he was half drunk, and the man was the most feared poker player in the world.” Vicky needs to be careful of the ever prevalent bar. On no wine at all she can be too timid. And once she gets beyond three glasses, she loses focus and just starts calling. But between one glass of wine and three, Coren is a demon destroyer who has well timed aggression and a nifty talent for getting her chips in first.
Player to beware of: Vicky vs. Devilfish. The Devilfish has owned Vicky in the previous two Premier Leagues. He has run her over like a train with his charming chauvinism, if you can call it that. She gives him way too much respect. The fact that she genuinely likes The Devil doesn’t help one bit, and if Vicky wants to succeed in this tournament she must take an attitude of no mercy no quarter when it comes to Dave Ulliott.
- Juha Helppi
This man is out of form. Pound for pound, I believe he has played the best and most consistent poker of anyone from the first two Premier Leagues, but a lot of good it will do him now. Juha has been running bad, and it’s starting to affect his mindset. He actually believes that he will be unlucky, which is a recipe for disaster. It’s a shame because when he is on, he plays this format near perfection.
Player to beware of: Juha vs. Phil Hellmuth. For two years, Juha has been playing well and owning Phil Hellmuth. Phil has bided his time, and believe me revenge will be served cold. Phil has been waiting to grab the upper hand on Juha and will waste no time kicking him when he is down.
10. Andy Black
The defending champion can play. He is tight early and aggressive late and this formula usually gets steady points. However, Andy’s Achilles heel is that he can’t stay away from a battle of the egos, and there are just too many egos in this lineup for him to succeed. I’m afraid his heart will get the better of his head.
Player to beware of: Andy vs. Andy Black. This never gets old. Andy has eleven players to beware of in this Premier League and they are all named Andy Black. Over the course of seven days, Andy will crack up. It’s only a question of when and how much it will cost him.
- Tom Dwan
The buzz around the internet phenom known as Durrr is a roar. The hype is deafening. Six million dollars this year alone. Soft spoken but a maniac at the table, everyone is excited to see the facets of his game. However, every time he talks about poker or is talked about, it involves him playing a lot of pots. I am not aware that he has the desire or ability to play the tight gear, and unfortunately here it means a lot of early exits.
Player to beware of: Tom vs. Annette. This is an interesting match up. The most aggressive internet cash player against the most aggressive internet tournament player. The last time I looked, this is a tournament, and Annette will get it over on Dwan all day long.
- Roland de Wolfe
How the giants have fallen. Two years ago the hottest poker player in the world, now just a formless mass reduced to drinking smelly bottles of wheatgrass to purge his system. On the bright side, Roland is immensely talented and is able to raise his game when playing against world class. He plays outside the box and can utilize every gear in the book. He plays so far outside the box, there is no box. If he plays his best poker, he should win. Right now, though, emotional odds are stacked against him. I think we are more likely to see his demons than his poker. Both make good TV.
Player to beware of: Roland vs.Tom Dwan. Roland likes to be the fanciest player making the fanciest plays, something Tom Dwan owns here and anywhere else. If Roland tries to outplay Tom Dwan, and you know he will, Durr will have that extra trick up his sleeve to put egg all over Roland’s face.
- Phil Hellmuth
He is the Premier League. He is Phil Hellmuth. And he got pulverized last year, laughed off the map. I saw Phil just before the WSOPE and I’ve been reading his blog and he is in good form. He seems a happy man. But it’s been a long time in Hellmuth years since he won anything major. If he comes in last during this Premier League people will talk. People will cackle. He can slay so many demons by doing well this year. Upstart threats like Durr and Eastgate, old rivals like Helppi, the Devilfish, and Tony G. He needs to just make the final table, but I still don’t see it. A little jetlag and Chinese Poker distractions and Phil will be mid table and beat in the heads up by someone who will taunt him forever. It’s part of the drama that is the Poker Brat.
Player to beware of: Phil vs. Tony G. Everybody laughed at Tony G for the way he played last year, none louder than Phil Hellmuth. I think Phil will be guilty of underestimating Tony’s play this year and could pay the penalty.
- Nenad Medic
I’ve never met Nenad, but from what I’ve seen he is quite impressive. Big man, gently humble, quietly confident, and with a string of results in the last two years that could be a career. He’s the kind of guy that always travels in a posse, and leads a team many strong. He appears to have the game to succeed here, but how he will react to the verbal intensity of this group of players remains to be seen. He has a temper, I’m sure of it, and we’ll just have to see what happens when he’s had enough. Belongs in the Premier League by anyone’s criteria and has been tipped by those who know to make a big impact. I can’t wait to see if he’s the real deal.
Player to beware of: Nenad vs. Devilfish. I saw both these guys in the big cash game in Vegas during the WSOP. Nenad was running hot and the Devilfish wasn’t. If Medic is guilty of underestimating the Fish, Devil will give him his due. Don’t ever think the Devilfish can’t play with the big boys.
- Annette Obrestad
Though some of the hype surrounding Annette15 has blown over, there is no question in anyone’s mind that she is at the top of the poker world to stay. Annette is just too good a tournament player, and of all the players in the Premier League I think this format perfectly suits her strengths. Though it appears to many that her game is based on naked aggression and little else, she has flair that is so extreme as to be borderline destructive. Look for her to play first position like it’s the button and to get paid off like a clock. I’ll be very surprised not to see her on the final table. One of the great subtexts with Annette is her confidence. She respects no one, and knows no fear. Annette is still young, however, and how she handles the cauldron that is the verbal pressure factory will be exciting to see.
Player to beware of: Annette vs. JC Tran. Against Annette you must be prepared to make the big call. Call it a hunch, but I think JC Tran will be her Kryptonite.
- Peter Eastgate
I’m proud to boast that I saw this one coming. Peter Eastgate played several times on TV before his run this year in the WSOP and he several times displayed the raw genius that promised big things to come. Twice he played lights out in the Poker Million, once running rings around the Devilfish, and at the Irish Open a few years ago were it not for Aces cracked just off the final table he could easily have been the champion. Jealous forum merchants who claim he got hit with the deck at the WSOP this year have obviously been guilty of only watching the ESPN coverage and not going through the hand by hand from the blogs. From several tables on down, Eastgate was in and out of tons of pots. He got big action precisely because he was so unpredictable, and he had Demidov absolutely tortured from where I sat both in November and July. The heads up matchup lasted not two hands, as television would have you think, but over a hundred hands during which Eastgate picked Demidov apart and then demolished him. He’s got nine million in the bank and this Premier League is his coming out party. I will be the second least surprised person to see Eastgate win this. Believe me that’s what he thinks he’s here for. Peter likes to do his talking with his chips. Whether that’s enough in the Premier League, though, remains to be proven.
Player to beware of: Peter vs. Roland de Wolfe. Roland is the kind of guy that feels a need to put people in their place, poker wise. He wants to prove something to the world, that he can put a play on the WSOP champion. Peter had better be ready for Roland coming with a plan of attack.
- Tony G
For a man who wears his heart and soul on his sleeve, Tony G has only been a shadow of his self during Premier League seasons I and II. The picture of him from last year’s final table said it all. Tony G, head in his hands, sad and embarrassed, after making an amateur mistake in the final three by turning his cards over too soon and costing himself half his stack. And that, just after lacking the heart and commitment to follow through against Roland de Wolfe. Tony G without heart and commitment? It was sad to see.
Cheer up, Tony G fans, I can happily report that the man is back, full of confidence, life, and the abusive wit that makes our sides ache. When he is on you he is playing his best, and he is on right now. He’s been in
Player to beware of: Tony G vs. Peter Eastgate. Tony will not be ready for Peter Eastgate’s game. Of that I am certain. Take this kid lightly and you will end up walking.
- JC Tran
You’ve got to like this guy. If you don’t know him, you are in for a treat. He’s where the Vietnamese American meets the
JC said something in one of his interviews that makes me think he will succeed here. He said that he used to push things too hard and has now learned how to let the game come to him. I think that’s a really good attitude for this league format. There’s so many in this field who will do the pushing. JC might just let this title come to him.
Player to beware of: JC vs. Juha. If there is one guy who JC could easily size up incorrectly, it is Juha Helppi. He looks tight but he is not. Juha will identify JC as the guy he can pull a move on, and he is probably right.
- Devilfish
I should be shot for my faith in the Devilfish, condemned for my insistence that he has the package that makes him the best player in history for this particular format. But the fact remains that the Devilfish does have it all. When he is on his A game, he has the technical skills to slash everybody in the field. He has the verbal weapons to hammer the psychological edge, and he has the wit and camera presence to own the show. Ulliott has only one knock against him, and that’s his habit of slipping into negativity when things start to go wrong. This is a big problem. However, the last five months he has looked the happiest that I’ve seen in seven years. The last two times he’s played this format he turned in his two best performances ever. If he brings that attitude to the table, I honestly believe Devilfish will be the champion when the smoke has cleared.
Player to beware of: Devilfish vs. Annette. Devilfish always gets outplayed by strong females, because he shows them no respect. Liz Lieu hammered the Devilfish in Premier League I, and she’s not half the player Annette is. Look for Annette to make him feel foolish in many pots.
