lol @ Cada & Moon, they must have bribed someone to get to play here. Out of everyone here I think Dario Minieri has by far the best shot to place high on the prize ladder

maspkr — ↑ --- ↓ --- ↕ --- Feb 25, 2010 ‐ Report

they're not playing deep stack cash game, this is in tournament shootout format with increasing blinds.

so what if its a tournament, they start quite deep, and you can build a big chip advantage early,
So I bet to see guys like durrr, antonius near the top
and with darios uber crazy LAG type of play hes bound to get knocked out sooner or later
dont know what darvin moon is doing here :S

Sorry to be a party breaker but first round they start blinds at 150/300 with 20k stacks and then double the blinds and stacks each additional round (so just the numbers increase but the play remains the same).

That means they start with a little less than 70BB + the fact that levels increase each 15 minutes. This should be pretty much the same as a regular speed FTP HUSNG, so don't expect deep stacks or big edges

Don't leave Huck Seed out of the equation...one of the best Heads Up player!!!!

I don't know why they keep inviting Don Cheadle and Phil Gordon. Carlos Mortensen's absence doesn't make sense, he's the only champion at both WSOP and WPT main events.
