Are you kidding? All of the big mixed games involve NLHE. I'm sure Chip Reece can play every type of poker at a world class level.

Actually NLHE is probably part of the rotation of the Big Game probably less than 25% of the time.

How much do you actually know about high stakes mixed games?

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Looking at Danny N's blog, it seems that NLHE is usually there, and Barry Greenstein rates Chip's no-limit game as almost equal to his limit game. (He does rank his tournament abilities a good bit lower than his cash game abilities, though.)

In any case, it's very very impressive to mostly move out of tournament play for 25 years, and then win a tournament as power-packed and significant as this one.
