I remembered this annoyance after someone mentioned Clonie Gowans result in aussie millions heads up.
Here goes story:
Aussie million $5,000 heads up tournament was limited to 32 people and most people didn't try to buy in until after they busted main event. (It ran at same time) But someone in the full tilt organization was smart enough to buy up the seats they could and tried to manipulate the tournament to be "amatuer" versus "pro" in the first round.
Well, I would be one one of those "amatuers" to get screwed by them. The only thing that saved this tournament was the fact full tilt couldn't get enough pro's in, and I wouldn't accept $9,000 for my seat. Mostly because I travelled all the way from Lithuania just to play this tournament. I didn't want to bother with the main event after getting 8th in a 7 seat fulltilt Freeroll for it. :-)
Brag (maybe wrong forum, ha):

I seem to be an "amatuer" that has a better heads up record than any full tilt pro.
If Greg Raymer is around, maybe he can confirm. He was around.
2nd brag: I at least placed higher than Clonie Gowan...and without benefit of illegal performance enhancers (cocaine).
