Welcome to the luxurious Crown Casino on a beautiful Spring day in Melbourne, for our live coverage of the 2009 PokerNews Cup series. The early preliminary events have attracted very impressive fields, and as you'll see from the lineup today, the best players around Australia, and even a few International visitors, have found their way to the Crown Poker Room for their shot at glory.

We pick up our live coverage with one of the most highly anticipated and hyped events seen on the local calendar in quite some time. The $1,100 PokerNetwork.com Live vs Online Challenge will pit 32 of the best online and live players up against each other in a series of heads-up and single table shootouts, to finally put an end to the debate once and for all as to who are the superior players.

The online team, led by Australian #4 ranked online player Steve Leonard, are full of the confidence of youth, while the live team, captained by 2009 Aussie Millions champ Stewart Scott, will bring years of experience and live tournament success to the table, to provide a thoroughly intriguing and unique concept.

All the action kicks off at 12:10pm (GMT+10) which is a little over an hour from now, so stay locked into PokerNews for every flop, turn and river, live as it happens from the tournament floor!
