Gibraltar – 15th March 2011 — http://www.partypoker.com and Matchroom Sport are pleased to announce that the ‘PartyPoker.com Big Game V,’ in association with PokerNews.com, will take place at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, UK, from April 15th-17th. PartyPoker.com is offering nine $15,000 packages to the televised event, which include the $13,000 buy-in and $2,000 spending money. As before, the cash game runs for 48 hours continuously!

To win a buy-in for The Big Game V, customers have to opt-in and compete in one of three points races that run from the 21st March – 3rd April. Players who finish first or second win one of the $15,000 packages. In addition, there are also $20,000 of leaderboard prizes and freeroll prizes worth $10,000 to be won. To win a place, there will be three points races to participate in at Low, Medium and High Stakes. Six packages (two in each race) will be awarded to the top racers and the next highest finishers can win cash and a seat in a Big Game freeroll where the rest of the packages are up for grabs. For those that do not come close to the top prizes, over 500 seats to these Big Game freerolls are on offer. More information can be found at: http://www.partypoker.com/news/items/the_big_game.html

Early names pencilled in to play include: Tony G, David ‘Viffer’ Peat, Annette Obrestad, Neil Channing, Jennifer Tilly, Roberto Romanello, Robert Williamson III, James Bord and Toby Lewis.

One other player confirmed is the in-form Sam Trickett. “I’m really looking forward to playing in my home town of Nottingham – Dusk Till Dawn is a fitting venue for a prestigious event like the 48 hour cash game,” said Trickett. “The line up is even sicker than last year, so I’ll have to be on my A-game!” Jesse May interviews Trickett about his great run in the latest episode of the Poker Show at: http://www.partypoker.com/blog/jesse-may/sam-trickett-rounders.html

As associate sponsor, PokerNews.com will be funding the special PokerNews.com pots that Tournament Director Mad Marty Wilson introduces to the action to spice up the pots.

“Another year has passed in the poker world and we are ready for another Big Game,” said Matchroom Sport’s managing director Eddie Hearn. “As fans and viewers become more demanding we will be delivering another fun packed series of musical entrances, player evictions, PokerNews pots and most importantly a line up to make your mouth water. Players’ play with their own money and the action is raw and very real. Accept no imitations… now in its fifth season, there is only one PartyPoker.com Big Game.”

Simon Trumper, live poker room director of Dusk Till Dawn, said: “Dusk Till Dawn is Europe’s premier poker venue with 45 all dealer dealt tables and 24 plasma screens. Having won two awards for Cardroom of the Year in the last 12 months we are delighted that PartyPoker.com has chosen our venue for the Big Game this year and look forward to welcoming the world’s best poker players to Nottingham.”

The PartyPoker.com Big Game IV in London last April was dominated by David “Viffer” Peat, who became the biggest winner in the five editions of the tournament, scooping £147k as he sat through the entire 48 hours.
