On the heels of last week’s announcements of additions to the Party Poker Premiere League VII roster, today the poker pro packed tournament confirmed that Vanessa Selbst will be playing when Premier League VII gets underway.
Selbst, who recently took down the UKIPT £2000 High Roller Event, is set to join Tony G, Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Laak and Jeff Gross at the Playground Poker Club in Montreal on November 20.
”I had so much fun playing the Premier League in 2011 – it’s such a fun, innovative, and mentally-challenging structure. I’m excited it has come to North America and thrilled to be able to play it again, especially in a new short-handed format.” Selbst is quoted as saying on the Party Poker blog.
The 12 player televised tournament features a $125k buyin and typically features some of the biggest names in the game. Selbst—a 2-time WSOP bracelet winner—is joining the broadcast in the midst of a heater as, in addition to her UKIPT victory, she took 2nd last month at the World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open extending her lead as the #1 earner on the Women’s All Time Money list, having just eclipsed the $8m mark.
