(Each player bought in for $20,000, with PartyPoker.com adding $260,000.)

Nice overlay. Good to see a sponsor adding significantly to the prize pool like that.Am I the only one who thinks that Helppi should have taken Phil up on the HU challenge? Specially if they could do it right away while Phil was tilting and tired.

I like that Party put on the extra money but isn't it weird that it says that "each player bought in for $20,000" and last place in the tourney paid $7,000. You only had to finish 6th or better to get your 20K back. In fact if you finished 9th of 12 you only lost 3k.In reality each player only bought in for 13K.Still a large buyin but the payout and buyin structure just seems odd to me.

Didn't Hellmuth beat him hup for his 10th braclet?

Yes, that was Helppi.
