The brackets have been posted (see link in first post). Annoyingly, it looks like they were determined alphabetically. That's WEAK.

I'm playing in Match #28 - Tourney ID is 963168. My opponent is ShipItThisWay.

A quick internet search reveals that this guy is a UB HU specialist. $50/$100 NL, I might add.

is an interesting thread about him on FCP from last year. More interesting though, is , written by shipithisway on Pocket 5s in March of 2006. I'll skip the early stuff and get to the part where he entered the HU world, playing way above his bankroll:

Before seeing who my opponent was, I would have said my odds to win this 64 player tourney were probably between 75 and 100:1 (since a lot of these players are HU specialists). Now, I'd say it's probably more like 125:1.

But I'd still put even money on myself to win my match tomorrow. Print it.
