Mike Sexton vs. Phil Hellmuth ...that is going to be the one I will be wanting to see in the first round! I would love to see a Doyle Brunson vs. Hellmuth.

So, lets see if anyone else wants to have a little friendly competition on this. Similar to something like a office pool you might have for a golf tournament. Pick 4 people that you think will win. You get 1 point for each round they survive. Person with the most points after it is done with wins. Here are my 4 picks:
J.C. Tran, Sam Farha, Phil Hellmuth, and Barry Greenstein.

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.

I love Chris Ferguson, but, can someone really win in back to back years? We will find out.

he has 16 wins and 2 losses in this tournament. Hard to bet against that.

Final Standing...of course, who wins! ME! I know, big surprise! Despite me having to look up who Elky was, I am irritated that he took one of my main picks to win down! I can't wait to watch the play on TV...I am trying not to read too much about it so I can atleast be a little suprised when I watch.

Mr. Dick - Tran (0), Farha (4), Hellmuth(3), Greenstein (1) = 8
Rockbottom87 = Durr(2), Elky(4), Benyamine(0), Cunningham(0)=6
Viticus - Bloch (0), Negreanu(3), Fischman(1), Ferguson(0)=4
Horoeschio - Ferguson (0), Wasicka(2), Benyamine(0), Cunningham(0) = 2

"Elky" is the leader of the all time EPT ranking. So yeah, he can definitely play.

Elky won the Pokerstars Carribean adventure, and the following year's High rollers game. maybe that tournament is more known in America?

I laugh at how Sam Farha can luckbox his way through this thing.
