poker stars heads up no limit shootouts

[AK33 0]

I just played in my first one of these last night and it was sweet. The structure is like the Heads up championship on NBC a while back. The tournament consisted of 243 players, a max was set at 256. I think some guys actually got to skip round one because of the uneven number of entrants. I breezed through the first three rounds and what kinda sucked was that I had to wait on all the other games for finish before they started the next round. It makes sense, I just didn't like waiting a half an hour between rounds. When i made the final eight things were looking good until I my opponent in the sixth round had a hand every time I went to steal, in the end I went out when she caught two pair against my pp, would have been sweet to take home the $1,312 first prize.Has anyone else played these or anything similar, what do you guys think?
