i also read about all those big names entered the tourney- and considering that there were only 22 players in the field i expected to find one of them ending up with the win, at least at heads up. but as always cards show that there is no such thing as "pro" at the tables, there can only be luckiest dude on the given day and nothing more
none of the players like durr and ivey will be affected for losing some coins .
