wow 7 hours of heads up battle- that's a lot to say the least- when i play heads up sng's they last 1h or so at most, probably if the slow structure and huge chip stack was on hands maybe it would last for 2 hours- but hey we are talking about 7 hours! probably they were sick of each other for good...lots of big names near the top
