3-barrels of pure value from PokerStars towers including their decision to limit Heads-Up action to Zoom tables; a Russian wins a million in four-hands, and Sunday Million 10th anniversary special to guarantee $10m in prize money.

Choice.

That seems to be the main word bandied around poker forums after PokerStars announced they would be shutting down No Limit Hold’em, Fixed Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha Heads-Up ring games on Friday 12 February.

If you like heads-up poker, the only option you will have after that date will to get a little dizzy playing Heads-Up Zoom. From a poker purist point of view it signifies the end of one of the most interesting and exciting forms of poker we have ever seen.
