It's fairly common for money matches to take place around Evo tournament time, and this year was no exception. Apparently Jav1ts on the SRK.com boards was able to round up a bunch of top players and they all took turns playing against Daigo Umehara, the reigning Street Fighter 4 champion, with some dough on the line.

Note, Daigo played Ryu in all of his matches. Here's how they fared, but Jav1ts stated there's a bit of room for error on the scores, but who won or lost is accurate.

• Arturo "Sabin" Sanchez (Dhalsim) beat Daigo 5-4.
• Daigo beat Peter "Combofiend" Rosas, 5-3.
• Daigo beat Dr.Chaos (Ken), 3-0.
• Daigo beat Philly-One (Cammy), 3-0.
• Ryan Hart (Sagat) beat Daigo 3-2.
• Daigo beat Ari "fLoE" Weintraub (Sagat), 5-0 and in another rematch 5-0 again.
• Daigo beat Martin "Marn" Phan (C. Viper), 5-4, Marn lost by a pixel. In a rematch Daigo won 5-0.
• Daigo beat Joe "iloveu" Ciaramelli (Sagat), 5-0, and in another rematch Daigo won 5-0 again.
• Daigo beat Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez (Balrog), 5-0.
• Daigo beat Alex "Sin" Salguero (Rufus), 3-2.

Also Inkblot said that IGN will start posting the high quality versions of Evo matches this Friday on their Insider service, and more matches will follow over the next few weeks.

A big thanks goes out to Slasher for the heads up on these items.
