    I'll take the old guard Seidel, Nguyen, Doyle and Annie (cause shes running like a god).

    I can see Seidel vs. Nguyen with Seidel winning.

    No.

    It's actually the NBC Heads-Up Poker Championship (although the N does stand for National).

    It'll be telecast in weekly Sunday installments on NBC starting in mid April (in the US).

    No offense but how the ******* does Duke get here? Variance of losing so long? Meanwhile, anyone think Seidel is the phucking nuts at live poker? I mean, what hasn't he shipped in his 80 years of poker now? Guy's a beast.

    This helps -

    <h3 id="no136167">AYFKM? Duke Doubles Back!</h3>
    We are seeing a heads-up match for the ages here between Annie Duke and Paul Wasicka. Wasicka had taken a 89,000-to-71,000 chip lead when Duke pushed all in with . Wasicka peeked at his cars, grimaced in Duke's direction, and then called with .

    There was an ace in the window, . Those of us in media row quickly realized that Duke was drawing at only a running Broadway straight to stay alive. She got half of it with the turn. And then MOC Jordan Siegel perfectly punctuated the delivery of the river card.

    "IT'S A KING!" he shouted as the came. The gallery went absolutely berserk. Duke, standing over the table, held her hands up to her face in utter disbelief. She then walked to Wasicka's side of the table and whispered something in his ear before re-taking her seat.

    The match rolls on! Wasicka is now quite short.

    here is who i think who wins.....

    Seidel over Eastgate
    Jason over Scotty
    Doyle over Phillips
    Duke over Yang

    and obv depends on the card draws in the next round but Doyle vs Seidel would be pretty cool in the finals.
