Some people call it the toughest cash game in the world. A handful of the most-seasoned professional poker players fighting it out in a marathon high-stakes cash game in front of television cameras. Poker TV doesn’t get any better than this. It’s no wonder that Party Poker’s “Poker Den—The Big Game” is back for a third installment in London’s Poker Den.

The poker pros set to make an appearance are some of the best and most colorful personalities in the game. Scheduled to play are Phil Hellmuth, Dave Ulliot, Tony G, Jamie Gold, Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari, Brian Townsend, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, Jennifer Tilly, Andrew Feldman, Sammy “Any Two” George, and Robert Williamson III.

The third game is going to be even more tasking for the seasoned veterans. While the first two Big Games were held for 24 hours, this year, the Big Game will run for 36 hours. “The Poker Den has come a long way since we started back in the summer of 2005,” noted Eddie Hearn, head of online gaming at Matchroom Sport. “The Big Game has been such a huge success, and the two series so far have attracted the best players in the world.”

You can be sure you’ll see some great poker action since the stakes are high. Players will sit down with either $10,000 or $20,000 and deal with $25-$50 blind levels. As usual, there will be a lot of straddling, guaranteeing a lot of action. Players are free to leave the table at any time.

The show will be filmed September 30 and October 1; and will be shown on Channel 5 in the U.K. next year. Commenter Jesse May will be present during the entire duration of the event. To learn more about the cash game, go to www.matchroompoker.com.
