<img src="http://admins.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/915e20a26aaafd8a3b28854c21352ebb.jpg" align="right" style="margin:5px; border:1px solid black;">Professional poker player <b>J. C. Tran</b> is the winner of the third edition of the PartyPoker Premier League! The PPL was an event hosted by PartyPoker where 12 poker professionals played daily 6-handed SNG's that would award points to a leaderboard. After four days of action, the top 4 of the leaderboard - <b>J. C. Tran</b>, <b>Peter Eastgate</b>, <b>Juha Helppi</b> and <b>Tom Dwan</b>, automatically qualified to the final table. The following four - <b>Annette Obrestad</b>, <b>Roland De Wolfe</b>, <b>Tony G</b> and <b>Vicky Coren</b>, disputed the other two places in the final through best-of-3 heads-up matches. De Wolfe and Tony G defeated Obrestad and Coren respectively and got themselves into the 6-handed final table.

That said, the finalists were, from top to bottom of the leaderboard: JC Tran, Peter Eastgate, Juha Helppi, Tom Dwan, Tony G and Roland De Wolfe. Each player’s stack was determined by the amount of points collected in the league, multiplied by ten. Take a look at the chip counts before the final table:

    Seat 1: Tom Dwan (United States) - 260,000
    Seat 2: Juha Helppi (Finland) - 340,000
    Seat 3: Tony G (Australia) - 260,000
    Seat 4: Roland de Wolfe (United Kingdom) - 230,000
    Seat 5: JC Tran (United States) - 450,000
    Seat 6: Peter Eastgate (Denmark) - 390,000



The first to go home was the WSOP main event champion <b>Peter Eastgate</b>, who received <b>$30,000</b> for the 6th place. <b>Roland De Wolfe</b> was eliminated in 5th place, when his pair of Kings didn’t hold against the Juha Helppi’s AQo. Online hero <b>Tom “durrr” Dwan</b> finished in 4th place. He was struggling since the beginning of the day, and his last chips were gone when Tony G beat his top pair with the same pair, but higher kicker. Durrr earned $50,000.

<b>Juha Helppi</b>, who was trying to win his second PPL title, was eliminated by Tony G, who had AdQc and hit a Queen on the flop. Even though Tony G started the heads-up with the chip lead, he was eventually defeated by <b>JC Tran</b>. After the flop came 5d7h6h Tony G checked and answered Tran’s 60k bet with check-raise all-in. Tran called and showed 9c7d for a pair of Sevens, while Tony G turned up Ks8d with an open ended straight draw. Turn and river didn’t change a thing, and JC Tran became the champion of the PartyPoker Premier League III, earning <b>$300,000</b>! The runner-up, Tony G, received <b>$150,000</b>.

<b>Final results</b>

    1st: JC Tran - $300,000
    2nd: Tony G - $150,000
    3rd: Juha Helppi - $80,000
    4th: Tom Dwan - $50,000
    5th: Roland de Wolfe - $40,000
    6th: Peter Eastgate - $30,000
