What will the format of the HU be?
I presume as per last year the final will have 10,000 chips, the semi"s 5,000 and the prelim rounds 2,500. I really hope not though, as 2,500 really isn"t enough.

We are discussing this with Simon Trumper. Heads Up tournaments do put a considerable strain on dealer resources, especially one that will start at 3pm on a Friday. Add to that the fact that we have doubled the number of runners, and we just need to make sure that we are ensuring a balance between a value for money structure and DTD"s ability to run a smooth event. The feedback from last year was that the later rounds were great, so we will try and improve on starting stacks as best we can.

Can"t the first rounds be done in groups, I know it could result in people waiting around but would reduce the number of dealers required

Want to play the satelitte tonight but couldn"t see anything listed on the site last night.. When will it show up? And, is it 8pm "British time" or will there be similar confusions like with the direct buy-ins on Saturday?

That"s correct
A game is played for one round, then the game moves to the next variant..irrespective of clock. the clock goes up every 30m
Last year"s played til 2am Tuesday morning. Someone got left on point duty updating it.
The structure makes for a fine game.

And the year before that was a 4am finish with the poker connoisseur"s favourite final of Jon MW versus Andrew T heads up that delivered almost limitless excitement for the benefit of the, quite frankly, unappreciative updater.

LOL, I"m sure it was a good heads up, just didn"t make great TV for the Skypoker crew hanging on to interview you. Did that interview ever make it on TV ?
