PartyPoker's 'Poker Den': The Big Game III
Published on 18 Aug 08 11:57 by Drakhor
From September 30th to October 1st, the third season of 'PartyPoker.com Poker Den: The Big Game' will be recorded in London. Invited once more are some of the best cash game players world-wide.
The playing time of 'The Big Game III' will be upped by twelve hours in comparison with the last season - 36 hours of non-stop cash game action with the best poker players of the world. Already announced themselves have amongst others Antonio Esfandiari, Brian Townsend, Phil Laak, Neil
Channing, Tony G., David Ulliott, Jamie Gold and Roland de Wolfe.
The minimum buy-in is $10.000. The blinds start at $25/$50.
Due to the relatively low blinds, the players will probably play with straddles again: The player in the UTG position has to pay a blind bet, usually two big blinds. Pre-flop, the player acts last after the blinds, post-flop he has to act first after the blinds as usual.
The players may stay as long at the table as they want. If a player leaves, another one moves up. Participating more than once is possible. Some players already announced that they want to play through the whole 36 hours. If anybody really does this though, or if the participants have to quit early on due to lack of concentration will be seen in early 2009, when the event will be aired for the first time on 'Channel Five'.
