PokerStrategy Heads-up Cash Championship Round 2

Six coaches remain in the event, including Double2, alderfalder and Twinn1.

Spare a thought for JohnyC1337, who lost to Alderjunge by the smallest of margins - just four big blinds.

Congratulations to matoSVK who beat KTU and will meet another coach in the next round - Deliveranced. If he wins that one he potentially faces bencb in the next round, so nobody can say he had it easy.

Watch PrimordialAA vs Lackoogcb

The showstopper of the last round was the much anticipated match between high stakes cash coach Lackoogcb and high stakes HUSNG regular PrimordialAA. The two played at NL100 to make it very easy for the fans to follow it in terms of big blinds.
