Here's a Heads Up
Good afternoon and welcome back to the by now very familiar locale of the Empire Casino, where the £10,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller Heads-Up will be starting at 5pm local time.
This is the first time that the WSOPE has featured an open heads-up event - in previous years this spot has been filled by various mixed events and/or the Caesars Cup invitational, if you remember that one from last year. Bearing that in mind it's rather difficult to predict numbers - there were around 50 registered last night but that will have most likely swelled by the time we get going - but however many they get, judging from the quality and familiarity of the fields we've been getting so far, it's going to be a lot of fun.
It's far too early for anyone who doesn't have an appointment with the £1k NLH event to be out of bed, but we'll be back in around 90 minutes for kickoff. Please stand by.
