The Big Game Cash Game Streamed Live On PokerNews

Thanks in part to the PartyPoker Premier League V and the upcoming World Poker Tour some of the biggest names in poker are in the Austrian capital of Vienna and on Wednesday, April 11, a select few of them will sit down at a high stakes cash game that PokerNews is going to stream live!

The likes of Tony G, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, Daniel "Jungleman" Cates, Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Sam Trickett, Scott Seiver, Patrik Antonius, Erik Seidel and many more will be battling it out at the live felt in The Big Game VI. As in previous years the cash game will run for 48-hours non-stop and you can fully interact with us throughout.

PokerNews will be using the excellent Cover It Live software which allows us to chat with you viewers, but more importantly it allows you to interact with the action and be responsible for voting for the player you want to keep in the game.

On top of that we have a sackful of tournament entries to give away, 48 in total, an exclusive freeroll where someone will win a seat to the $1,000,000 guaranteed Pokerfest Main Event and a reload bonus of up to $250!

Keep your eyes fixed on the dedicated Big Game page over the next couple of days because this should be a fantastic spectacle and one you can be heavily involved in!

Frankland, Trickett And Tony G Through To Premier League Final

PartyPoker Weekly: The Big Game To Be Streamed Live, Premier League V And More! 101

Group A of the PartyPoker Premier League V has been completed and the three players who have made it through to the final table have been decided. On Tuesday 10 April Mathew Frankland, Sam Trickett and Tony G will all take a seat at the final table and have a realistic shot at $500,000!

Frankland may not be a household name but he is certainly on the final table on merit. The 23-year old British pro won his $125,000 seat by first winning an online satellite then taking down a live satellite and then going on to top Group A with 40 points, worth $80,000, after winning two of the four heats!

The aforementioned trio will be joined from Group A by either Phil Laak or Andy Frankenberger who will face each other in a series of heads-up battles to see who qualifies for the star-studded final table.

Group B is yet to be settled but it will be completed Monday. You can follow all of the action from that last match over on the PartyPoker Blog.
