This is an interesting format for a heads-up match, and we think you'll probably want to know about it. We're listing the players with 75,000 starting chips, but that stack is broken up into three chances. Most of the players are starting with the base 25,000 and electing to save their two, clear buttons for the additional add-ons.
In fact, the only player we've seen take their full 75,000 chips up front is Lex Veldhuis.

Hansen had checked, and Mercier moved all in for his first stack of chips with about 10,200 already in the pot. It was an overbet, and Hansen had about 12,000 chips left as he pondered.

We know which table we're going to be watching the closest this round. All right, well there are a lot of great match-ups this evening, but the one featuring Dan "Jungleman12" Cates and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier should be a good (and quick) one. Across the table from them, Yevgeniy Timoshenko and Toby Lewis are tangled up in a very quiet duel, and we'd expect both the first and second round matches there to be must-see.
