Party Poker Premier League III -Day 3 Results and League Standings - Eastgate and Hellmuth Share The Same Luck to Win

It was the day of the Youngest Ever WSOP Main Event winners, as "pokerbrat" Phil Hellmuth and 2008 WSOP Main event winner Peter Eastgate bounced back to silence their critics and  took down their respective heats on day three of the Party Poker Premier League III to secure full points.

Now both of them are back in the reckoning for the slots in the finals of the Party Poker Premier League III.

Heat Five had the following players in seating order

1 Peter Eastgate
2 Juha Helppi
3 Vicky Coren
4 Nenad Medic
5 Annette Obrestad
6 JC Tran

It was down to to Peter Eastgate taking on league leader J C Tran in heads up play very soon with Eastgate holding nearly 90% of the total chips. Amazingly, JC fought back to take chip lead, but was unlucky to finally loose out to Eastgate a bit later when he called with his A7 to Eastgate's K3 all in just to see a king on the flop.

JC seems to be the man to beat as he is virtually assured of the final spot now with 26 points from 3 heats.

Final Heat Five Placings

1 Peter Eastgate
2 JC Tran
3 Vicky Coren

5 Juha Helppi
6 Annette Obrestad

Heat Six had the following players in seating order
1 Roland De Wolfe
2 Phil Hellmuth
3 Tom 'Durrrr' Dwan
4 Andy Black
5 Tony G
6 Devilfish

It was "Durr" at his best initially as he knocked out Devilfish,Tony G and Andy Black. He was playing his famous cash game style taking part in multiple hands. However, he lost out to Phil Hellmuth to come out 3rd.

It was Hellmuth vs Roland De Wolfe in heads up battle and all chips went in finally on a hand with Hellmuth calling with K10 to Roland's AQ all in. Roland's luck ran out on the river as a king fell to give Hellmuth his first win here at the Party Poker Premier League.

In a strange co-incidence, Peter Eastgate and Phil Hellmuth, both shared the same luck today also when they played all ins with hands dominated by their opponents, only to see a king help both of them win.
