For anyone who is following our tournament, we have the Competitors for the last round one event today at 4 p.m. EST on Full Tilt - the HUC3 Maniacs table. We had two last minute replacements to fill our openings TanOrpheus (another UK blogger) and SoxLover. Thanks guys for joining.

We also have our first winner for Round 2. WillWonka beat ToddCommish in two matches in order to move on to the next round. Although you wouldn't know from their blogs because I didn't notice a write-up yet..lol

For Round 3, the winners from the groups below will play each other:

Group 1
Maniac
Donkey
Bluffer
Shark

Group 2
Suckout
Fish
Squirrel
TiltMonster

Now for the exciting news. I was chatting with the Blogfather yesterday and asked him if there was any chance he would be interested in filling our last HUC3 spot. It was then that I made the discovery that Iggy has never really played in a Heads Up Match. Can you imagine my delight? Iggy is a HU virgin. I mean you don't find that everyday. This was just too good to be true. Before you know it, we had struck up a deal. I realized that we could not waste a HU match with the Blogfather on just any Competitor. So the winner of the HUC3 will get the opportunity to play a Professional Poker Player afterall. As for his cherry, well..that my friends is for me to enjoy. Thats right, you heard me. Veneno is gonna pop Iggy's HU cherry in a best 2 of 3 series of HU matches. We have not set the date or times, but be watching for it.

The winner of the HUC3 will be getting an extra $15 donated by Fairnbalcnd who said to keep his prize money. So this can be used to fund the HU matches with the Blogfather.

Best of luck to our Competitor's today.
