Phil Hellmuth is looking to win the PartyPoker Premier League.

The final episode of the PartyPoker Premier league is set to air tomorrow and it should be a heck of a finale.

The episode, which starts at 12:10 a.m. BST (early Wednesday) on Channel 4 in the U.K. and Ireland, offers a stellar lineup with 11-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, Liz Lieu and Vicky Coren all in the running. Lesser-known players Eddy Scharf, Juha Helppi and Ian Frazer make up the rest of the six-player final table.

Coverage of the league began way back in May with 12 of the world's best players trying their hand at PartyPoker's unique format. Each player provided $20,000 of their own money and then PartyPoker supplied an extra $260,000, which means there was a $500,000 pot up for grabs.

Hellmuth enters the contest with the chip lead of 350,000. Right behind him is Eddie Scharf with 310,000.

Commentating on the unique broadcast will be the always-entertaining Jesse May, Tony G and David "Devilfish" Ulliot.

Here's a look at the chip stacks and overall point rankings heading into the final table:
