I don't know if I'd say that most of the guys listed are high stakes cash players. As they aren't:

ActionJeff: MTT
AK87: HU SNG
Empire2000: Cash
EmpireMaker2: Cash
lftarii: HU SNG
MrSmokey1: HU SNG & Cash
THAY3R: MTT
westmenloAA: MTT & HU SNG

Certainly a few of them play mostly cash, and obviously most of them will have played cash at some point, but there're a lot of headsup cash specialists that aren't here. There're also a lot of the regular $5k SNG players who aren't here. I wonder if it could reach 16?

Action Jeff used to play high stakes cash alot. I think hes doing some midstakes challenge now though(might be wrong?).

Menlo isn't a HU SNG player, he's a high stakes cash+MTT player. Actionjeff also has quite a bit of experience playing mid/high stakes cash and I'm sure quite of a bit of deepstacked HU play.

AK87 plays a lot of cash, or at least he used to.

I don't see why cash game players should have an adventage over a guy like Iftarii who plays high stakes hu sngs all day.

Seems like a pretty impressive field. I dunno what kind of hu experience Thay3r has. Kinda suprised to see him up there.

It's now 16 max. Sick

30 minute levels and 10,000 starting chips. How long do you figure the average match will last? 2 hours? Maybe more?

4 rounds (with 16 players) - what do you figure? Over/Under of 10 hours for the tourney?

With this structure, I don't know if they can go higher than 16 runners. 32 max...

I really hope this tourny becomes a regular thing and doesn't drop off the radar at all. I plan on giving this a go when I get back from vegas.

Will they allow final table chops?

It would seem very odd to me to enter a HU tournamnet only to make the final HU match and ask for a chop. You would think that most who put up the $ to enter this thing would only do so b/c they thought they were a favorite to win and would not want to chop once they made the final match.
