![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
It all started with a tweet from Gus Hansen, a member of Full Tilt Poker's "The Professionals," to Daniel Negreanu, a member of Team PokerStars Pro.
Hey @RealKidPoker remember this hand https://t.co/BsakRJXa2o - Wonder if I ever get another chance to take your money ;-)February 21 2013Follow
After a back-and-forth exchange between the two, Negreanu issued a challenge, Hansen accepted, and here we are. The Professionals vs. Team PokerStars.
Representing The Professionals will be - you guessed it - the three professionals; Hansen, Tom Dwan, and Viktor Blom. Joining Negreanu on Team PokerStars will be - thanks to a fan vote - Team PokerStars Online member Isaac Haxton and Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.
Each heads-up match will be for $50,000, and each member of the winning team will earn $10,000 in tournament buy-ins from the rival site. Each match will also be a best two out of three, and they will begin at 14:00 GMT:
| Match | Time (GMT) |
|---|---|
| Viktor "Isildur1" Blom vs. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier | 14:00 |
| Tom "durrrr" Dwan vs. Isaac "luvthewnba" Haxton | 17:00 |
| Gus Hansen vs. Daniel "Kid Poker" Negreanu | 20:00 |
