I just went over to cardplayer.com and checked out the heads-up bracket. I just wanted to see what was going on. Here is a link to the bracket:
Heads-Up Bracket
First and foremost I have to say...what in the world is going on with Shannon Elizabeth? She must be catching some good cards. I know I've never played with her (not that I wouldn't mind), but she has to be one of the weaker players in the bracket. Now don't get me wrong. She could be a studly player, but compare her to the rest of the field and you'll understand what I am talking about. She definitely gets a big congratulations from me. She beat Barry Greenstein. That in itself is a feat. Barry is one of the best around.
There were a few first round losses that I was a little shocked by:
1- Erick Lindgren lost to Vanessa Russo
2- Daniel Negreanu lost to Mike "the mouth" Matusow
3- John Juanda lost to Michael Mizrachi
4- Phil Ivey lost to Don Cheadle
5- Todd Brunson lost to Gabe "the worst poker announcer" Kaplan
The tournament started with 64 players, and at this point...there are 8 players left. Here are the match ups that remain:
1- Shannon Elizabeth Vs Humberto Brenes (I figured this match up would be Lindgren Vs Seed)
2- Paul Wasicka Vs Nam Le (I figured- Cloutier Vs Forrest)
3- Andy Bloch Vs Gavin Smith (I figured- Negreanu Vs Chan...although I am not surprised by Gavin. He would have been my next pick...other than Chan)
4- Kristy Gazes Vs Chad Brown ( I figured- Ivey Vs Todd Brunson)
Oh well, heads-up is a totally different game! If I had to pick the final match it would be- Gavin Smith defeating Nam Le.
We'll see if I'm right soon enough!!
