Before the draft and auction even started, team captains faced some disagreements over the rules. Howard Lederer announced that, in response to Barry Greenstein’s request, the Seniors and Ladies events would count in the standings. There was general moaning and groaning, ended by Daniel Negreanu saying, “Those events aren’t real. The bracelets aren’t real.” (I don’t know how this was resolved.)

The Round of 32 was loaded with both manufactured and real TV moments. One of the sources of drama, which requires some work to be effective for TV, is the match-ups themselves. I haven’t even mentioned the Barry Greenstein-Sam Farha match, that was just aching for more coverage.

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.)

In the first half of the third round, Shannon Elizabeth stunned Barry Greenstein, defeating him in 34 minutes to become the first player to advance to tomorrow’s quarterfinals.

Heat 1 of the second round featured eight matches which varied in advance appeal between ”who?” and ”wow?” What follows were my impressions, noted by time to keep them roughly in order, by match. I started the match planted about six feet from Shannon Elizabeth’s left hip, but by the time the cards were in the air, I had been removed to press row, in the back of the bus.
The cards were in the area at high noon, just 90 minutes after the stage call. They start with 40,000 apiece, and blinds of 200-400.

By the time many of you read this, the matches I’m previewing will be long completed. But read on! The great thing about a competition like this is that anything is possible. When they haven’t played the matches yet, you can imagine anything. While the reality sometimes matches the imagination and on rare occasions exceeds it, every matchup is full of possibility before it happens. This is how the Final 32 shape up:

As I drove into town Thursday afternoon, I called Clonie Gowen to ask if she wanted to come with me to Fashion Show Mall. I had two baggage errands to run. ”Me and Shannon have to get scanned for an Activision poker game but if you’re by in a half hour, we’d love to come to the mall with you.”
Well okay then.
