Freddec 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 damn, from a quck glance the diamonds bracket seems stacked and the others seem pretty weak.yeah not even close, by far the toughest.......i may try to catch some of the diamond bracket action........6 hours till my fliight to Veeeeggggaaasssss!!!!! weeeeeeee Link to post Share on other sites
FHgrad99 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 There are some very interesting matchups in the first round.I don't want to be Don Cheadle, Alisha Kunze or Orel Hershiser tommorrow. That is a very tough first round draw for those three.Negreanu vs. Mizrachi, Greenstein vs. Lederer, Lindgren vs. Elezra, Ferguson vs. Juanda and Deeb vs. Wasicka should be good matches.

Cappy37 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Jerry Yang vs. Chris MoneymakerLol.. Freak pointed it out already, but this may be the greatest television of all time. Link to post Share on other sites
ohen 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My picks are Dwan, Townsend, Wasicka and Schreiber in the final 4. Link to post Share on other sites
HangukMiguk 8 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 rekrul also gets a tough draw.Pham vs. sbrugby should be good.Tilly vs. Gowen = ROFLCOPTERS.You should also hate to be in Jason Alexander's seat. Not as bad as playing Ivey, Hansen, or Forrest, but Huck Seed should easily beat Costanza. Link to post Share on other sites
HangukMiguk 8 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My picks are Dwan, Townsend, Wasicka and Schreiber in the final 4.As good as Wasicka did last year, I'm going to have to count him out here.I'm going Antonius, Greenstein, Schreiber, and Cunningham final 4.

bull62 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I don't think there's enough money on the table for Rugby to take this all that seriously.I think he would like some tournament glory. Why would Durrr be playing tournaments? Certainly not because he thinks he can make more money doing it. Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly not because he thinks he can make more money doing it.Maybe, but I'm thinking back to the WSOP where he basically didn't bother with the tournaments at all because there was more money to be made in Bobby's Room than anywhere else. Maybe it's the whole "invitational" aspect more than anything else, he has a shot at $500k and all he has to do is show up because they asked him. Link to post Share on other sites

silkyjonson 1 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think clubs is the strongest bracket. 3 of my picks are in that bracket, Little, Clements and Dwan, funny that those 3 are in the same bracket as they all came out at around 60-1 and are now the favourites on Bodog at 20-1.
