The much anticipated event 2 40k NL Holdem event is starting tomorrow! Who is going to win? I speculated on this a couple weeks ago and now I think I have to say Yevgeniy Timoshenko will be one or two. Will it be Phil Ivey? He is supposed to have side bets on winning a bracelet this year. Doyle Brunson posted on his Facebook that he has a fire in his belly and is ready to play poker after a hiatus.

I think the 50k Horse was replacing the main event in prestige, but wasn’t getting ratings on TV, so they devised a high buy-in NL holdem to be the main event for the Pros. They want to weed out as many donks as possible to make it less of a luck minefield.

How will Phil Hellmuth do with the still competition? Other top pros claim he can’t win in strong fields. The guy has 11 bracelets and they still call him a donk. I guess his demeanor invites attacks….

Full Tilt Poker has a fantasy league for all the events. I made my picks the other day and I’m going to complete the Omaha Hi Low and others now. Goto Full Tilt client, then click on my promotions, and then select Fantasy League.

1 Yevgeniy Timoshenko – If hes not out first he will win. This MF is sick, go look up his live and online stats!
2 Phil Ivey
3 Phil Galfond
4 Mike Watson
5 Justin Smith
6 Gus Hansen
7 Tom Dwan
8 Phil Hellmuth
9 Daniel Negreanu
10 Jon Turner
11 Kathy Leibert – She may surprise the young guns?
12 David Benefield
13 Sorel Mizzi
14 Doyle Brunson – Moved down since hes been on vacation
15 Jon Turner
16 Patrik Antonius
17 Jonathan Little
18 David Benyamine

If Phil Ivey isn’t in his mode, I place Hac or Zi Dang in his place. Maybe look for
Alexander Kostritsyn to reappear.
