So, Round 1 has been announced and I gotta say, I’m excited! Despite some minor hiccup, namely PokerStars’ inability to provide us with private 4 person HeadsUp matches, everything seems to work out just fine. We changed sites and the matches will now take place at FullTiltPoker (two thumbs up yet again for their supreme customer service)!

I’m part of the first match, tomorrow 4pm ET:

Table: HUC#3-Maniacs
Time: 4 p.m.

Surflexus
Ingoal
Boobie Lover
PokerSweetHome

Should be interested, let’s see what the first matchup will be, a part of me wants to see Ingoal vs Boobie Lover in the first matchup (after all Wes was responsible for kicking me out in the first round of the DADI HU event), the other part is rooting for a matchup against one of the others…I guess we’ll have to see what happens…this should be good fun one way or another….

The winner of the our table (“Maniacs”) will face off against the winner of the “donkeys” table, which includes Juliette, PresidentDaveLee (who won yesterday’s WWdN), 23Skidoo and SteelerJosh.
All the tables are looking great as far as I can tell and I’m really looking forward not only to play my own table, but to railbird some if not all other tables (damn, there are nice matchups all over the place!). Exciting!

For more infos about the matches, locations/times and the participants along with the results of the tables as they happen, check out the HUC3-Blog! See you all at the tables!
Last but not least I would like to give a big shoutout to the Commish, Veneno, who made this all a reality, w00t!

Edit: I forgot to quote some interesting infos for all participants and railbirds (Source: Veneno’s blog):
