Extra, Extra, Read All About It! Michael Craig has accepted the challenge from Patrick 'Dr Fill Good' McAllister, Nick 'Rounder63' Carrillo and my good self.
What challenge is that, I hear you say? It is a Heads-up Cash Game Relay Challenge with the proceeds and side-action going to Relay For Life - a charity of The American Cancer Society (ACS). What will it entail? Michael will play Patrick, Nick and I in 50c/$1 Deepstacked NLHE and $2/$4 HORSE for three hours. We will tag in and out relay-style on the hour but Michael will have no such luxury. Not only will the winners donate their spoils to Relay but Patrick and Michael have agreed to pledge an additional $250 to Relay in the event of their side losing money over all.
