DanielNegreanu 141 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 The event starts tomorrow, and we'll likely have anywhere from 20 to 40 of the best limit hold'em players in the world playing heads up matches. I'm really excited about this event and will be posting the bracket and results as they come in. Link to post Share on other sites

mk 11 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Are they going to televise this tourney? I would really love to see all of these players going head to head. Link to post Share on other sites
shydie 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Erik Sagstrom is just too much of an excellent player. 21 years old and supposed 10mill on starts....hmmm. I think he's got prlly the best chance for this...and if now be sure to see him again and again and again. But Daniel will get the lock for player of the year.Sorry Dan, think u'll get some more competition next year with Erik123 if he plays all tourns. Link to post Share on other sites
