At 2 p.m. local time, Event #17: $3,125 Heads-Up is set to start here at the Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa with a limit of 64 players maximum. Last year’s champion is the one and only Phil Hellmuth who defeated a full field and Joseph Cappello heads-up for $37,248.

Eight players got paid last year, this included Ryan Hall, Olivier Busquet, Dylan Gang, Steven Sarmiento, Christopher O’Hara, and [b]Michael Vela.

Players will need to register in person before 1:30 p.m. as the draw will take place at that time. They will get 20,000 in chips to start with and the level duration will be 15-minutes long. This is a two-day event and the brackets will be on the bracket board as soon as the draw has been done.

The [i]PokerNews[/i] live reporting team will be covering this event from the start of Day 2 with live updates while Day 1 updates will provide you with info about the brackets. Make sure to come back every so often to see how the tournament progresses.
