FTP's $25K HU Challenge - Poker News - News, Views and Gossip

This looks like it could be pretty sick. Highest online entry fee by a longshot, I wonder how many will turnout.

I'm sure this will be reasonably popular considering they have satellites and people like Harman/ Lederer will be playing.

The structure will also be quite important in dictating its popularity obviously.

Don't see any structure listed, but it's single elimination, no mention of a best of 3 format.

i think this is invite only with a certain amount of slots available for players to satellite into.

with many of the slots reserved for ftp pros, this could be one of the softest fields possible for such a high buyin headsup event

Wow, it's like the Heads-Up Championship only with good players. Sweet.

Here's hoping everyone comes out to play.

This will be much more intresting if its not invite only... If this is the case the field could be huge imo.
