Default Re: NBC Headsup Poker Championship

I am 100 percent certain of this. Of course, you won't believe me no matter what I say or what my sources are, but perhaps you will believe me when I ask you this:

Do you think any pro will buyin for $20,000 and, when the tournament is 75 minutes old and he is down 21k to 19k in chips, he'll just allow NBC to call it a match? Game over? No. Even with the most generous blind structure, many, if not all of these matches, will be over well before 75 minutes. It's just the nature of heads-up. You don't need me to tell you that. And if they're not, they'll keep taping.

If you need further proof, Negreanu posted about testing out blind structures and his matches ended in 30-45 minutes.

Come on, you're smart enough to know that no poker tournament is going to end when a buzzer goes off. The pros would laugh it off and would never participate.
