Good morning poker world and welcome to the Premier League V. So what’s been happening so far?
Our first job was to fill the two qualifying seats and Mathew Frankland and Ben Wilinofsky showed how valuable satellite qualifications can be by earning themselves a $125,000 seat.

Then in the second heat, and once again it was two of the most passive players who made it to heads up – Tony G taking home maximum points after defeating Erik Seidel.
