              Good morning poker world and welcome to the Premier League V. So what’s been happening so far?<\/p>\n

              Our first job was to fill the two qualifying seats and Mathew Frankland<\/a> and Ben Wilinofsky<\/a> showed how valuable satellite qualifications can be by earning themselves a $125,000 seat. In the first Group A heat it was Phil Laak<\/a> who took home maximum points despite being the least aggressive player at the table. Then in the second heat, and once again it was two of the most passive players who made it to heads up – Tony G<\/a> taking home maximum points after defeating Erik Seidel.<\/p>\n

              In the first Group B heat, Patrik Antonius<\/a> defeated Scott Seiver to take maximum points and Heat 2 will start around 11:15-11:30 (CET). Here are the current Group B league standings.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Patrik Antonius – 16 points<\/li>\n
              2. Scott Seiver – 11 points<\/li>\n
              3. Dan “Jungleman” Cates – 8 points<\/li>\n
              4. Tom Dwan – 6 points<\/li>\n
              5. Betrand “ElkY” Grospellier – 4 points<\/li>\n
              6. Yevgeniy Timoshenko – 3 points<\/li>\n
              7. Vanessa Selbst – 2 points<\/li>\n
              8. Ben Wilinofsky – 0 points<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
