David Singer wins $25K Heads Up

by Blake on May 26th, 2008

David Singer took down the Full Tilt Heads Up poker tournament.

You can check out how the bracket went down here.

Some interesting turnouts, including Phil Ivey losing in the first round (to the player who would eventually go the the finals against Singer) and some others.

Playing cash game online right now for the first time in a while. Man, I’m rusty.

8 opinions for David Singer wins $25K Heads Up

    In Ivey’s defense, the guy has stated numerous times that he gets bored out of his skull during these tourneys because he can go play in a $200k buy in cash game 24/7.

    I love heads up play but winner take all is al ittle extreme in such a big field.

    It was winner take all? Damn, I didn’t see that. Yeah that’s crazy for heads up. I can’t believe so many people turned out (though I’m sure Full Tilt hooked the majority of them up).

    Wasn’t it? I thought I read it was winner take all but I could be wrong. I’ll look it up again.

    Top 8 places paid. I must have confused it with another tourney.

    I do think it’s BS that the full tilt guys had no 1st round match ups against each other except Huck Seed/Max Pescatori. The way the 1st round is stacked leads me to believe that it wasn’t random pairing like it is supposed to be.

    The house always tries to screw you no matter where you go.

    Side note: I’m not a fan but Andy Bloch seems to do VERY VERY WELL at these heads up events. Maybe pure math is the key for heads up play.

    There were some very interesting match-ups during the competition but I wonder how many of them actually forkedout the full $25k themselves. I think there must have been a hell of a lot of selling of percentages during that game!

    Yeah Block shows up deep in more events than I think most anyone, though he’s yet to make a good show of the main event, at least in recent years.

    That whole thing was really just a promo grab, with some cuts off the suckers who jumped in the middle while all the pros played for cheap or free.

    Bloch, not Block
