WSOP Shootout...

The $2000 NLHE Shootout is going on at the WSOP today. I think this would be a very cool tourney to play in.

In case you don't know what a shootout is, basically, you beat everyone at your table (like a SNG), and then the winners advance. Beat everyone at that table, and advance again, etc, etc.

I'm reading through the update now, and I think this is just GREAT:

Oh please let it be Hellmuth.

Phil Hellmuth was the chipleader in the O8 event so I doubt it was him unless he forgot to unregister for this event.

This is why I think it's even more likely that it was him.

I would GUESS that UB buys them into as many events as they want to play in. With the overlaps in the schedules it makes sense for the pros to throw 2,000-3,000 of their sponsors money into an event in case they bust early in first event of the day. Even if they blind off for a bit they will probably still have some chips.
