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
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.
Pokerfest II Online Just Around The Corner!
Pokerfest II Online gets under way on April 22 and it promises to be bigger and better than ever before. The second edition of the superb online festival boasts no fewer than 47 events between April 22 and May 22 with a staggering $3,500,000 in guarantees and a Main Event that will pay out at least $1,000,000!
Along with the 47 tournaments there will be multiple side events taking place between April 22 and May 6, meaning PartyPoker is the place to be when it comes to tournament poker.

Daily Dollar Side Events
Every day during Pokerfest II there will be two tournaments, each with a $1 buy-in, running at 13:45 and 16:00 EDT that have what PartyPoker say is "a twist." The reason for the inverted commas is the fact nobody knows what these twists will be and they will only be revealed in the lobby at the last minute! What these twists are only PartyPoker know but we expect them to be different formats with added prizes and value.
