PKR Grand Slam Draw Revealed
Posted on September 16, 2009 by Harry G.
PKR have revelaed the final draw for the PKR Heads Up Grand Slam which is to take place in London from October 8 to October 10 with a buy in of $10.000.
Many notable players
Many notable players early announced their participation in the exciting event and at this point in time the final list of participants have been completed and the draw for the tournament been done.
Many interesting matches are to be seen already in round one where John Tabatabai will clash with Devilfish himself and Vicky Coren will get the honor to face WSOP2008 main event winner Peter Eastgate who seems to be in good shape for HU poker after a money finish in the big WCOOP $25.000 buy in Heads Up event.
FullFlush1 who is always worth to follow at the poker tables are going to face Timoshenko who has a WPT bracelet under his belt already at the age of 21. The WPT Championship title he won back in April not only gave him more than $2.000.000 in prize winnings but he also became the youngest WPT Championship winner ever.
Jennifer Tilly will meet a rough opponent when she face trash talking Tony G and it will be exiting to see how she manage to cope with the Australian menace. Tony G was reportedly training his trash talking abilities to this event when he faced the young Dane Søren Kongsgaard in Late Night Poker back in August where Tony G under influence of a few glasses of red wine got the mouth going good during the HU against Mr. Kongsgaard.
Duthie vs. Dwan
John Duthie will meet the young internet comet Tom Dwan and we predict this match to be fireworks from hand 1 as John is not known to fold his cards.
The rest of the HU poker matches ups are as follow:
Vladimir Geschkenbein v Alex Keating
Annette Obrestad v Ian Frazer
Theo Tran v Ilari Sahamies
Sandra Navjoks v Sammy George
