Neil Johnson bounces round like he owns where because, in a way, he does. Johnson is the EPT tournament host and could also be the person in command of the sector Cup of Poker, a two-day team event that's approaching its final stages. This morning the team captains, including such luminaries as Team PokerStars Pros Humberto Brenes, Jan Heitmann, David Williams, Noah Boeken and Arnaud Mattern, were gathered in and told about an amendment to the foundations. We collared Johnson to get a clarification of ways the general heads-up stages are going to play out, straight from the horse's mouth.

Still all to play for

Johnson explains: "We've made a few adjustments. We were going to damage them one to four and five to 8 and that's the reason all they might win but that's changed. We are going to take the eight teams and randomly draw them into two pods of four, not seeded but still a round robin, then we'll seed them then so five plays four, six plays threes, seven plays two and on the end wherever the points fall that's where they finish.

"Captains play captains and the TLB guys play the TLB guys. They score points throughout... We should always finish 8.30-ish. I AM HOPING that if we get cards within the air we should always have the ability to do all three round robins between five and 7. We should always be capable to get that done because by the point half-an-hour is finished they'll be 25 big blinds at the table. They'll still have the ability to play that but not by much. We should always have the ability to start the general round of heads up at 7.30pm."

Okay, I BELIEVE I KNOW HOW that is going to see. Results for the last round have become calculated now and can be posted up once we pay money for them.
