I'll make a random preliminary top 4 list. Negreanu, Hellmuth, Lindgren, Deeb. Though it is obviously hard to say since the bracketing is random.

It looks like once again they are not releasing the brackets until the event starts. Why the hell do they do it that way?? [/ QUOTE ] There's a live show to announce the brackets. It's Friday night. If NBC did it in advance without the players present, the players would fear that it was rigged. This way, it's out in the open, in front of the media and the players. Make sense? |

now is this in the ARENA or banquet hall or the poker room? I can't imagine this being in the poker room... [/ QUOTE ] I'm fairly certain this is being held in the poker room. The tournament room has more than enough room for 32 heads-up tables. I was at Caesars Palace today and the tournament room was closed off. I assumed the room was already being prepared for the weekend's events. They built that large tournament room for these kinds of things. Why wouldn't they use it? |

[/ QUOTE ] I meant that they wouldnt use the "actual" poker room. Don't know about the tournament room. Remember, they need room for an audience, cameras, etc. Headed out to Vegas tonight for the event. |
