PartyPoker.com Poker Den: The Big Game has started its run on Five in the UK on Wednesday nights, running for eight weeks. The series was filmed earlier this year by Matchroom Sport at the Poker Den in East London and was the UK’s first televised 24 hour continuous cash game.

Among those taking part were top pros Phil Hellmuth, Dave “The Devilfish” Ulliott, Tony G, Liz Lieu, Juha Helppi, Kenna James and Roland De Wolfe. Each player had to buy-in for a minimum of $5000, with blinds starting at $25/$50 and all players were free to leave the table at any time they wanted.
