While the players were on the "heads up set up" break. Bryant King was in the media room talking to an ESPN camera about how it was to get heads up with Daniel Negreanu. He discussed a couple of hands. He called home and he is excited. Daniel Negreanu, on the other hand, was sitting here at my computer reading in his forum and answering a few questions. Just an amazing contrast in styles and preparation. Only time and cards will tell.
