Premier League set to return

One of the UK's most-popular televised poker events is set to return for a new series.

The first two PartyPoker.com Premier Leagues had a legion of fans glued to their television screens and promoter Matchroom Sport has announced a third series will be filmed in London during late November.

Reigning champion Andy Black is currently the only confirmed participant for the event, but organisers are confident an improved prize pool will tempt 11 of the world's top players to take him on.

The sponsor has increased its contribution to the prize money and the buy-in for the event has risen to $75,000, giving a total fund of $1.25 million.

Matchroom Sport's Eddie Hearn claimed: "There isn't a poker player on the planet that doesn't want to be part of this event."

Poker shows currently running on British television include the Sky Poker Five-00 and the European Masters.
