Hellmuth and Matusow would be epic but they aren't apart of the pokerstars team obv, not interested in watching Ike take 10 minutes to act every street in his dick waving war with isildur or Vanessa ranting about how bad her opponents play whilst they stack her chips.
Elky would definitely have a huge edge in a HUSNG type format since he made supernova elite playing them so I'd probs go with him and Mercier/Katchalov. If it was cash you would definitely have to go with Ike though, but I think these guys would easily crush durr/gus/blom in a husng format since they have so much experience playing heads up in MTTs and playing husng's online.
Daniel N should just play Gus straight up online instead of trying to make it a 3 vs 3 sng live. Hoped for some more ballsy proposition in straight HU then this.
I would love if Daniel N or some other star pro could make us some railfriendly challenges like Isildur did on Pokerstars.
I think its good for poker anyway but kinda lame way to actually make it happen.
At least it will be a challenge durrrr probably finish if he participate..
Nice little idea with the 2 sites "competing" like this. To get a better recreational following and to further push EPT London to the masses both sites should run a tourney with the winners getting to represent the site that they won on and play alongside the pro players.
Anyone who think Ike has any kind of edge against Blom in cash or HUSNGs is deluded. Blom will BBQ him good and proper. As he would Elky and Negreanu.
Total publicity stunt obviously.
But Blom would out play anyone Negreanu selects in any HUNL cash or SNG format. The guy has proved hands down he's the best. Last time he played Busquet on Stars 5K SnGs he destroyed him. And he's supposed to be world class. Edit: is world class.
Anyway, I hate these kinds of things. What are they really for? Selecting Selbst and watching her berate players for making thin calls against her and being right makes me puke.
Anything that takes Blom away from swinging at the FT tables I'm strictly against. Play Hansen in your own time Negreanu. No one gives a ****.

Elky did that years ago and didn't he lose a ton of money in the process?
Ike is currently and has for a long time been playing the 5k husngs on stars. Blom also used to grind them a lot. Those two would obviously be the top two players in the whole pool.
