PARTYPOKER.COM PREMIER LEAGUE IV LINE-UP COMPLETE IAN ‘THE RAISER’ FRAZER SCOOPS TEAM PARTY SEAT

Las Vegas – 11^th February 2010 – Team Party pro Ian ‘The Raiser’ Frazer has secured the final place in the http://www.partypoker.com/ Premier League IV Main Event, which gets underway tomorrow at 12pm (PST) at the M Resort in Las Vegas. Frazer, known as the ‘King of Six-Seater Shootouts,’ conquered the six-seater play-off that also featured fellow Team Party members Bodo Sbrzesny, Remy Biechel, Felipe ‘Mojave’ Ramos, Poker Hall of Fame inductee Mike Sexton and special guest player Dragon Galic.

Frazer now joins the 12 player field for the $100,000 buy-in Premier League IV alongside defending champion JC Tran, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Vanessa Rousso, Roland de Wolfe, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, Phil Laak, David Benyamine, Luke Schwartz and fellow Team Party member Tony G. Also in the field is 44-year-old Italian lawyer Giovanni Safina, from Palermo, who takes his seat in the elite event after qualifying online at http://www.partypoker.it/ for just 100 euros!

‘The Raiser’ admits he hasn’t had the best run of form recently and after conquering Party tournaments over the years has had a quiet 12 months by his standards. He was invited to the first two Premier League events but didn’t get the call for the third season.

“I came, I fought, I conquered,” said Frazer. “I’ve really got a feeling I can win this and I am so delighted that I have made it into the Main Event.”

Frazer started the day fourth in chips, with Felipe ‘Mojave’ Ramos the chip leader. “I cannot express how hungry I am now. I didn’t deserve an invite to the last Premier League and it is amazing to be back!”

Ian is a very successful 50-year-old building contractor from London with live tournament winnings of over $1.5 million. The link to his success and Party is strong as he started playing online at the site in 2004 and he has finishes on the final table of five offline Party tournaments. He is a valued member of VIP club http://www.palladiumlounge.com/. His biggest live successes are scooping $500,000 by taking down the UK Open in 2005 and winning the first prize of $125,000 at the PartyPoker.com European Open II in 2006. Ian has cashed three times in six handed events at the WSOP and is known and feared as a specialist in that format.

The unlucky runner-up was French Team Party professional Remy Biechel, who went into the heads-up almost level but was rocked by ‘The Raiser’ in just a few hands. Full details on all the hands and eliminations can be found at: http://blog.partypoker.com/premier-league-iv/team-party-premier-league-poker-final-table-live-blog.html

The first heat of the PartyPoker.com Premier League IV Main Event takes place tomorrow with Frazer joining JC Tran, Daniel Negreanu, Luke Schwartz, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, Roland de Wolfe, Phil Laak and Vanessa Rousso on the felt for heat one. Last year’s winner Tran goes in as favourite to take down the tournament as a whole.

MAMMA MIA! GIOVANNI TURNS €100 INVESTMENT INTO $100,000 BUY-IN TO PARTYPOKER.COM PREMIER LEAGUE IV! ITALIAN LAYWER TO TAKE HIS SEAT WITH THE STARS

Las Vegas — 11^th February 2010 – 44-year-old Giovanni Safina, a civil lawyer from Palermo, Sicily, has won a place in the elite $100,000 http://www.partypoker.com/ Premier League IV at the M Resort in Las Vegas. Safina, who invested only €100 to reach such heights, made his way to Vegas through an online satellite at http://www.partypoker.it/ and now takes his place in a line-up that features poker superstars Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, JC Tran, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, Vanessa Rousso, Roland de Wolfe, David Benyamine, Phil Laak, Luke Schwartz and the newest member of Team Party Tony G. After beating 15 other online qualifiers, Safina now has the chance to compete for a monster $1.5 million prize pool against the elite.

“This is the very first time I have been to Las Vegas,” said Giovanni, who only discovered no limit hold’em in 2007. “Poker is purely a hobby for me though I have won €25,000 online before. To reach the Premier League was always my goal and I am incredibly happy. I have believed in myself since the beginning – yes, I got short-stacked at times but I always knew that with poker anything is possible.”

“I am a huge poker fan and have seen all the players I will be competing against on television. It is going to be so emotional sitting down with them for the first time but I will keep myself in check.” It is no surprise that Giovanni may be a little intimidated as his famous opponents have earned over $47 million in live tournaments alone!

“It feels like I have been chosen from up above,” he added. “I am yet to call my wife – I just know she will not be able to believe it.” Safina has one son, Leonardo, who is two years old, and has a birthday on the 18^th February. “Any money I make from this opportunity will be split in half. Half will go to my family and half I will use as a bankroll to fund more poker play. It is so unbelievable that I have got to this stage simply from playing on PartyPoker.it.”

The runner-up was 27-year-old Miguel Proulx, a veteran of previous PartyPoker.com Million events and a computer science and finance graduate from Quebec. Italy also took third place and all 16 online qualifiers are still in contention for the $100,000 Team Party contract.

The PartyPoker.com Premier League IV now has 11 players in the line-up with one more seat to be determined tomorrow before the main action gets underway on Friday. One player will come from the six handed Team Party heat and Brazilian star Felipe ‘Mojave’ Ramos goes in as chip leader, followed by Remy Biechel, Bodo Sbrzesny, Ian Frazer, Ambassador of Poker Mike Sexton and special guest Dragan Galic. Full information can be found at http://blog.partypoker.com/premier-league-iv/live-poker-blogging-premier-league-poker-playoffs.html

A media reception took place at the M Resort tonight. Phil Hellmuth entered with a large entourage and exclaimed: “Tony G is in a lot of trouble. This tournament is triple stack and that means you need to have a lot of skill!” Tony’s latest musings on the world and the Premier League can be found at: http://blog.partypoker.com/tony-g/i-am-environmentalist-not-a-gas-guzzler-like-phil-hellmuth.html

LAST CHANCE TO QUALIFY FOR LA POKER CLASSIC MAIN EVENT THIS WEEKEND WIN THE LAPC MAIN EVENT AND SCOOP AN EXTRA $1 MILLION!!

Gibraltar – 4^th February 2010 – Final qualifiers are now online at http://www.partypoker.com/ for the LA Poker Classic Main Event, which takes place at the Commerce Casino, the largest poker room in the world, from the 26^th February – 4^th March. One massive bonus is that if a PartyPoker.com online qualifier wins the tournament, there will be a brilliant $1 million payout with a $500,000 top up going to the winner and $500,000 shared amongst all the other online qualifiers, no matter where they finish in the event!

The packages are worth $14,000 and include the $10,000 buy-in, seven nights’ luxury accommodation and $2,500 spending money. Qualifiers start from $3 but there is also DAILY freerolls into the sub-qualifiers running until Sunday 7^th February 2010. The final main $700 + $50 LAPC weekly qualifier takes place this Sunday at 14.15 ET, where one $14,000 package will be awarded for every 20 players with two packages guaranteed.

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: “We have smashed the guarantee every single week that we have run the qualifiers and are expecting a great final weekend. The recent news that two PartyPoker.com online qualifiers finished first and second in the Aussie Millions got us thinking about the LAPC $1 million top up we have promised if an online qualifier takes down the main event! Are PartyPoker.com online qualifiers on that much of a roll? If so – it is going to be expensive!”

PartyPoker.com spokesman and 2009 Poker Hall of Fame Inductee Mike Sexton said: “The PartyPoker.com packages are amazingly appealing to anybody who wants to attend the LA Poker Classic. The $1 million payout if an online qualifier takes down the Main Event offers superb extra value. Imagine if you bust out really early and then one of your fellow qualifiers went on to win, you’d still go home with your share of $500,000! The LA Poker Classic is one of the largest and most popular events on the WPT. The reasons that players from around the world descend upon the Commerce Casino to play in the LA Poker Classic are numerous. They include: the structures of the tournaments, the multiple high buy-in events, and the tremendous cash games.  If you’re looking for big-time poker action head to the LA Poker Classic!”

Last year’s Main Event title was won by Cornel Cimpan, who scooped the fantastic £1,686,760 first prize. In 2008 the title was won by Phil Ivey and other previous winners of the Main Event include star names such as Antonio Esfandiari and Michael Mizrachi.
