The PartyPoker Premier League will kickoff another 15 week run with an episode airing on Channel 4 at 12:10 a.m. on Tuesday/Wednesday. The format features 12 of the world's elite poker players fighting for a piece of the $1 million prize pool. Nine players from last season's event returned along with several new faces this year including Alexander Kravchenko, Annie Duke and Marcel Luske. All 12 players played six times in the preliminary stages with the leading four players qualifying for a seat at the final table while the next four battled it out in heads-up matches for the final two seats. Each player brought $60,000 of their own money while PartyPoker.com added an extra $280,000 to make the pool $1 million. Quite an increase considering last year the prize pool was $500,000. Finnish poker sensation Juha Helppi outlasted 12 stellar players last year and a final table that included Phil Hellmuth. Helppi beat German pro Eddy Scharf in heads-up play to win $125,000. This season the first place finisher will be awarded $250,000. Television commentary will be provided by Jesse May and Roland De Wolfe. The stakes are higher than ever before and with a table that includes Phil Hellmuth, Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott, Tony G, Juha Helppi, Annie Duke and Marcel Luske the first episode is sure to be a blockbuster.
