Overview
I played in the Brian Hastings sweat tournament during the 25K NL hold’em heads up championship and have to say it was fun flipping back and forth between my tournament and Brian’s heads up tournament. David Singer went on to win that heads up championship, and if memory serves me right, the least number of players joined his sweat tournament, which shows he was looked at as the underdog. If you enjoy watching pro’s play heads up, and are interested in playing a great value tournament, you should definitely play the sweat tournaments.
