PokerStars HU All-Star Showdown

http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/all_sta...ils-monster-all-star-show-123422.html

We're still working to confirm all eight names on the list. Here are the six who have put in their RSVPs so far. Alexander Roumeliotis (Sussie Smith) Alexander Millar (Kanu7) Benjamin Sulsky (Sauce123) Tobias Kuder (KTPOKP) Phil Galfond (mrSweets28) Isaac Haxton (Ike Haxton)

As a HU player this pleases me immensely. Need Jungleman though, I think Sauce will do well and I'd be surprised if Galfond does well. Can't wait, and I hope I can view this from the US -_-

The All-Star showdown will function much like the SuperStar Showdowns of old. Players will face off heads-up on four simultaneous tables. In the old days, the matches lasted for 2,500 hands. Now, the matches will continue until one of the players goes broke. The players will begin their matches with 1,000 big blinds. If the match isn't finished by the 3,000th hand, the blinds will double.

"Sulsky's bankroll has been built up from a freeroll win!"

Wtf ? How can such a guy deal with the dumbness of a freeroll ?

Sussie is an oldschool Swedish player, been around on PS for ages, but not much over 50/100.
