I noticed they were still playing the horse rotation while heads up... wasn't last year's heads up finale between reese and bloch NLHE? why did they change that? not that i care, just curious...

They changed it in response to all the complaints that by limiting play to NLHE they were giving a huge edge to a player who was stronger in that game than to the player who was the most balanced over all. HORSE is about being the best at the most games.

BTW, Daniel Negreanu in his latest video blog recommends that they extend the level time next year from 30 minutes to 45 minutes, at least later in the tournament.

Wow, I just woke up to read all the updates and WOW! Freddy was DEAD w/ about 250k @ one point, what a clinic he put on in the Razz rounds. Reading all of those updates it was like a whole other tourney took place.

I had fell asleep listening to that awful commentary around the time Amnon got busted. @ least someone of note won this thing. What a marathon tho.

My dad predicted Freedy Deeb would win this event when it first started. He knows absolutely nothing about poker which is why I find it hilarious. Definitely going to have him pick my sports bets from now on!

I'd be more impressed if he knew about poker and still picked Freddy Deeb.

And Daniel is gone ... told you guys. Today will last 2 hours at most. Not really a 5 day event if Day 4 is 2 hours, and Day 5 (final table) is 1 hour.

Lame lame structure.

Worst prediction ever?

Beavis68 · #**578** 06-29-2007, 05:48 PM

and the final day went to 5am? Yeah, terrible structure! HA HA HA.

Ivey busted before Negreanu, I don't remember the exact positions.
