Interesting Times

Just about every person I've talked to about today's Heads-Up event has said the same thing-- "This is going to be interesting." Which reminds me of that old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times."

Right now the dealers are lining up to get their assignments, which is in and of itself interesting. There will be TWO dealers at each table, sitting at opposite ends (in the three seat and the eight seat, approximately). And there will be two different heads-up matches at each table, with the players sitting across from each other. There will be plenty of room...but having two different matches going on simultaneously might makeit feel a bit more cramped than it actually is.

We'll be updating the progress of as many matches as possible right here, on the blog. You can't do more than double up in a heads-up match, obviously, so there won't be anyone racing out to a huge chip lead. We'll do our best to update you on as many matches as possible and let you know who has advanced, and who's been eliminated.
