The Yellow Jersey
Here Comes Heat #2
The second heat of the PartyPoker Premier League IV is set to kick off in little bit with another round of players taking to the felt. Yesterday's winner Phil Laak will be back in action and looking to go two-for-two after locking up a very important 16 points yesterday.
Joining Laak will be PokerNews' head honcho Tony G, David Benyamine and PartyPoker qualifier Giovanni Safina. Roland De Wolfe, JC Tran and Yevgeniy Timoshenko played yesterday and will all be playing today as well.
Phil Hellmuth will be playing today as well. He was situated in the production truck all day yesterday and had an inside look at the action. He was able to view everyone's hole cards and it'll be interesting to see how he alters his play based on what he saw from some of the players. He did mention that he's going to be playing super passive preflop and limp with big hands because he saw the players yesterday raising with some rather weak holdings.
Stay tuned for the live coverage, in the meantime check out the video with our new member Kristy Arnett and yesterday's winner Phil Laak.
