The Battleship Poker Championships has become a fan and player favorite since PokerStars first launched it at the 2005 PCA. Much like the game of Battleship, two players sit face to face, battling in game of heads-up poker on their laptops. At this year's EPT the format will be different. Player's get to choose both their opponent's AND their buy-in amount rather than in year's past when the event was setup like a tourament. Once the buy-in has been paid, opponent has been selected and match has been set onlookers will be able to watch the game on a plasma screen as the player's battle it out BATTLESHIP STYLE. B9... F2... Pocket Aces... GAME OVER.
