Hellmuth confirmed as final Premier League competitor

2008-11-21 12:10:31

Phil Hellmuth's participation in the Party Poker Premier League III competition has been confirmed by promoter Matchroom Poker.

The 11-time World Series of Poker bracelet holder completes the line-up for the league, which is set to get underway on November 24th and air on television next year.

Hellmuth was expected by many to join the field of competitors, having taken part in both previous versions of the tournament.

He finished third overall in the 2007 edition, after picking up three victories in the group stages. In 2008 he was less successful and failed to reach the final table.

Tom Dwan, Annette Obrestad, Andy Black, Roland De Wolfe and Victoria Coren are among the 11 other card sharps who will be competing in the event.

Eddie Hearn, one of the organisers, commented: "We wanted to deliver a dream dozen for the fans and this is without doubt the most exciting line up in poker history."
