lasted 9 hrs last year. The longest heads up ever for a tourney. i really hope Negreanu wins. Ive been reading his blogs and following his progress all week, and he has played this event very weel acording to himself. He has defently brought his "A" game.

Think it was Ivan demidov that final tabled the main event and the wsope main event last year
many a magazine and media said this was an amazing feat and unlikely to be repeated for a long time
Then this year 2 November niners tabled the wsope main event. LOL.

True. Let"s hope that the 9th place finish yesterday wasn"t an omen for Akenhead as given his stack goining into the November FT I belive he is favourite to be knocked out 1st.
Whatever happens its a great achievement.
Gutted for Negreanu though - great player and a class guy

yeah
i dont think anyone ever wants to see daniel lose - a great ambasador for the game
really thought he was gonna do it but had to stop covering the updates at 2am - couldt stay awake and was playing turbo sng"s at the same time as watching the updates and the tiredness was adding to me losing alot of buy ins playing silly stuff

On his twitter page he says that he lost it in just 2 key hands, and right away after it was over he had to go and do some photo shoots. gutted. Its not about the money for top pros, its just about the bracelets. He played to win, and not ladder up through the money And defently looked the best player on the table. Incidently he has just over taken Jamie Gold for the all time money wins in tournaments. (well ivey will have somthing to say about that come November)
In first key hand he had AA vs flush draw and had shulman covered. All in on flop and flush hit river. Not sure what the other key hand was, he was unlucky not to win it because he actually felted 7 of the other finalists, and from the live updates he steamrolled the table, despit beign short stacked at first. i think heads up lasted just a few hrs unlike last year.
Just goes to show the ammount of play and skill that is involved at these big tourneys compared to our APAT ones.

Headsup was around 6 hours....
and Daniel had AA twice at final table... once in the very first hand when he didn"t get paid off, and then in the crunch hand where he lost to the flush draw.
Praz Bansi"s exit hand was scary..... all in with QJ on a J hi board.... against AA! turn J..... river A.

It would be really interesting to see how a top player would run in an APAT event ... would they be able to break free??
I doubt it.

lol.
But i was also thinking this last season, how good would a top pro do with our structure? Because players like Hellmuth, Matasow, Ivey and Negraenu etc win most of their chips playing after the flop, They play a distinctive smallball style, and in the Apat tourneys, once you get to about level 6, it is very rare to see two people in a hand going to the river without One of the players beign "all in" or pot commited. I personally think a pros skill would be severly limited. it comes down to way to much luck in the flips.

Yeah totally agree with this ... but what is the remedy?
How do you encourage play in the early levels ...

i dont think there is a remedy, just gotta pray for the poker gods.............
On Daniels twitter he has not updated all day, his last Tweet is that he basically hates poker, and he still has yet to write a proper blog about the heads up yet.....just goes to show that even they get depressed about the game from time to time.

there are plenty of tournaments out there that pros play at similar to APAT structure
look at the EPO for example, only slightly different structure but full of top players due to buy in
