PokerStrategy.com coach pleno1 said of this event:

"Heads-up tournaments are the purest form of poker; you start out with deep stacks, then you play mid-stacked, and then finish with a short stack. You learn to play all stack sizes both in and out of position, and learn about your opponent's tendancies quickly in a really cool battle."
