By consensus vote, Friday’s second first-round bracket, Diamonds, had the most talent and the most difficult match-ups. Barry Greenstein, 5-0 in the first round, faced Vanessa Rousso, last year’s runner-up. Annie Duke, though never a threat in the HUC, drew Andy Bloch, in a match that promised to pit not only friends but similar styles. Others in the bracket included the occasionally cursed Sam Farha, Jennifer Harman, Mike Matusow, 2007 champion Paul Wasicka, Gus Hansen, and Greg Raymer. (Hansen and Raymer were matched against each other.)

It’s 11:15 AM as I am writing this. The broadcasters are doing their taped opening for the first two quarterfinal matches – Shannon Elizabeth v. Humberto Brenes and Paul Wasicka v. Nam Le. Shannon Elizabeth has kicked me out of my front row seat to make room for Antonio Esfandiari’s father, banishing me to the back row of the bleachers.
All part of the plan.
