Harrington vs. Minh Ly II

ChrisMonkeymaker · #1 10-22-2005, 12:31 AM

Harrington and Minh Ly fought each other heads up for the Queens Poker Classic Main Event title sometime between 1996 and 1997. I forgot who won. Anybody here know?

Anyway, if they wind up going heads up again, we have a "rivalry" that is major though not as big as Chan vs. Seidel.

Okay, it was 1996. Action Dan beat Minh Ly. I hope they play heads up again.

Is this really a rivalry? Or did Seidel just lose to Chan in a WSOP and Rounders has everyone thinking it's some intense rivalry.

Seidel got revenge on Chan I believe back in 2000 or 2001 in a WSOP $3000 buy-in no limit hold'em event. Too bad it wasn't televised. It was very exciting and intense, with the chip shifting back and forth and a lot of supporters for both sides in the room. Pre-Moneymaker/WPT/internet poker boom, unfortunately.

This is actually discussed in an article in the Oct 4th issue of CardPlayer.
