Harthor to Play SkaiWalkurrr in Challenge
December 13, 2011 - 04:55
Hyper Turbo Multi Table Battle Begins Wednesday
December 13th, 2011 - Fresh off his challenge victory over Chadders0, Harthor will take on SkaiWalkurrr in a 1,001 game challenge starting Wednesday. The two will play 6 hyper turbo heads up tables at once on PokerStars.
SkaiWalkurr was the top rated player in our September 2011 hyper turbo power rankings.
Harthor has been looking for opponents for an end of the year challenge, partially to fulfill a volume quota. PokerStars VIP system points reset at the end of each year, making December a popular volume month for many regulars attempting to reach supernova elite level or a milestone bonus.

@sadbeats: harthor is prob slightly -ev, but it's v unlikely he loses money after rakeback imo (in EV). challenging yourself by playing good/great players occasionally, and taking yourself out of your comfort zone, is one of the best ways to grow as a player/person. harthor can only improve by doing this, even if he loss a bunch he will make it back quicker having done this imo (bc he will learn lessons from the experience).

chadders0 says:

5k, even odds I believe.
pokerman9061 says:
All side bets on 2+2 are 2:1 in favor of skai though. Surprised Harthor let the 5k go 1:1.

RyPac13 says:
Harthor wants the VPPs for a milestone or SNE or something like that, it's probably still +EV to him even without the value of playing what many consider is the best hyper turbo player in the world for 1k games.
I actually don't think that Skai is celebrating over the even money as much as people probably feel he is. He's stated that Harthor is one of the people he would give the least odds against in a heads up challenge.
Too bad the Chadders challenge happened (or turned out the way it did), otherwise I think there might be some real opportunity at 3-1 type odds in the market, as Harthor would likely be super underrated if he hadn't proven himself recently in such a public way.
