The PartyPoker Premier League season 3 will start on November 24 and now Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott from the United Kingdom and Australian Antanas "Tony G" Guoga have confirmed their spots in the tournament.

The third season of PartyPoker Premier League will take place in London, between 24th and 30th November, when Andy Black (who was automatically invited) will try to defend his title. The two new contenders that have just been announced are Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott and Antanas "Tony G" Guoga, known for their personal rivalry in live events.

Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott (left picture) is a well known British poker figure, having more than $5 million in tournament cashes so far. He has a WPT trophy and a WSOP bracelet, to mention some of his more important accomplishments so far.

Ulliott said: "I'm looking forward to the Premier League and am determined to take it down." "Tony G has as much chance of beating me as winning Strictly Come Dancing", he added.

The other player to join the Premier League III is the Antanas Guoga, better known as Tony G (right picture). With a little under $3 million in event winnings so far, Tony G can only brag about the fact he has a WPT title.

"I have been itching to play and finally win the Premier League - it is the event I look forward to the most," Tony G said. He also didn't miss the chance to add something about his rival: "It goes without saying, but I am really, really looking forward to crushing the Devilfish."

PartyPoker Premier League has 12 of the world’s best players playing in a special league format: all players will play six times in the preliminary stages, after which the top four players will advance to the final table. The next four will go heads-up matches for the remaining two seats.
