"Read More..." for the details.

"I work with a number of top professional players, Johnny and Earl being among them, so I know from personal experience the issues that each of them have with each other and I have a feeling some of these issue are gonna come out at the event. I know they both have respect for the others abilities and accomplishments but unfortunately that is where the respect ends. Although there is $10k on the line the money is almost secondary to these two Hall of Famers they want to win" Said Cantrill.

"Earl has tortured me and most other players over the past 20 years with his antics, well I'm going to torture him for two days and give him a little back of what he gives everyone else" said Archer.
