Don Cheadle beats Phil Ivey, LOL

15 min levels are not bad heads-up.

Cheadle didn't look that bad during the Equalizer thing. It only takes one good hand at the right time.

[52s]

The blinds for the first round were 100/200, 200/400, 400/800, 600/1200, 800/1600, 1000/2000, then I presume the 1500/3000 cap.

15 minute rounds in heads up, there's enough play all things considered. Most of the matches were done under an hour.

20 mins per level, and best 2 out of 3 each match would be more of a true test. Doubling the blinds each round speeds it up a bit too, so adding a few levels... w/e its all for TV anyways.

if you look at cheadle's pokerwire post ivey interview. he obviously understands poker. he basically said that his strategy was to play super agressive. he moved in preflop with most hands he intended to play and just hoped to not run into any big hands. pretty smart. he knows he can't outplay him post flop, so just play super aggro pre. works fine with a structure that moves so fast.
