“present” Destroys “the guru 11″ With $261K NL Hold’em Win

The players known as “present” and “the guru 11″ were involved in quite a heads-up battle as the two went at it for over three hours on several different tables. Their match began with a $300/$600 NL Hold’em game on Full Tilt Poker table Journey before adding a $200/$400 NLH game over on table Pimento around half-an-hour into it. Up over $169K with 90 minutes of action in the books, “present” moved the competition over to deep stack tables Mars and Murdock. Another hour went by before they switched from Murdock to table Journey as “present” was able to add another $92K+ in winnings. After 986 total hands of heads-up play, “present” found himself with up over $261K+ when “the guru 11″ decided to cut his losses and quit the game.
