They\’re in the money at the National Heads-Up Championship. Everyone\’s brackets have turned to shit — I\’ll update that situation as soon as I put this post up here — and Jerry Yang\’s crew is apparently rolling old-school Hevad Khan, getting all up in Jennifer Harman\’s grill. (Jennifer of all people!)
Everyone left guaranteed at least $25k in pursuit of the $500k first prize.
The payout breakdown:
Champion $500,000
Runner-Up $250,000
3rd & 4th Place $125,000
5th – 8th Place $75,000
9th – 16th Place $25,000
Coming up:
Chris Moneymaker vs. Erik Seidel
Peter Eastgate vs. Jamie Gold
Scotty Nguyen vs. Gabe Kaplan
Eli Elezra vs. Dennis Phillips
Jerry Yang vs. Barry Greenstein
Doyle Brunson vs. Annette Obrestad
Phil Laak vs. Jason Mercier
Annie Duke vs. Paul Wasicka
By my count, that\’s six Main Event champs, one Main Event-Europe champs, and one guy who thinks he was main event champ.
