Each player will buy-in for US$20 000, with PartyPoker.com adding US$260 000 to the final table prize pool.

Hellmuth commented: "I love the UK and feel at home there, so I am really looking forward to Premier League Poker. It's always challenging to match wits with the world's best poker players but I'm coming for the title - make no mistake about that!"
A PartyPoker.com spokesman said "Premier League Poker is an exciting new concept and is sure to make great television. The interest from pros on both sides of the Atlantic has been excellent."
