Taking his place among the 11 pro line-up, which includes Mike Sexton and J.C. Tran, will be the sensational Ukranian born Yevgeniy Timoshenko. Commenting on Timoshenko inclusion, Sexton said:
“He has completely taken the poker world by storm, first of all by winning over $2 million in live tournament earnings without cashing in a WSOP event and with all that he has done since. Yevgeniy is a good ambassador for the game. I never forget before the WPT Championship final table last year he went out and bought a new suit and got a haircut for the occasion. I think he is an excellent addition to the Premier League line-up.”

He has gained a fearsome reputation in the poker community for being a top online and live tournament player and his current career winnings are in excess of $3.2 million.
