Just wanted to start a discussion on who'd you like to see pinned up head to head on NBC. Here's a list that I came up with.

Daniel N. versus Jen Harman (Mentor vs. Student)
Moneymaker v. Farha (Revenge factor)
Arieh v. Hellmuth (Two of the most emotional I've seen)
Todd v. Doyle
Baldwin v. Buss
Sklansky v. Caro

Just some interesting ones to get the party started.

Amarillo Slim vs Caro would be fun.

Moneymaker vs Farha... yep.

I just hope at some point Gus Hansen plays Freddy Deeb. Deeb was pissed when hansen beat him in the first WPT win and said he'd like to play Gus any day of the week. I personally don't think his bankroll would last very long.

you're saying Daniel's the mentor? Didn't Jen take him under her wing originally?

How about Hellmuth vs. Matusow? That would be the ultimate in reality tv.

Raymer vs. Matusow

Doyle Brunson vs. Hellmuth (because of the TOC comment Doyle made to Hellmuth about "Do you pose for the camera every time?")

Hellmuth vs. Grizzle

Hellmuth vs. Hoyt Corkins

Kristi Gazes vs. Kathy Liebert (stems from the "How many times have you been married" spat between them at the Poker Royale Battle of the Sexes)

Hansen vs. Lederer

Hansen vs. Greenstein

Juanda vs. Hennigan

Don't know about the quality of the poker, but I am sure NBC would love have the names:

Wager vs. Moneymaker at a final table /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I don't think so. I think Phil only goes nuts when he respects the opponent's play and they do something that he would consider questionable. Matusow is somewhat unorthodox, so I would think Phil could keep his emotions under control, unless he runs into a bunch of bad beats in a row.

Daniel vs. either Hansen or Juanda

come to think of it, I think I'd most like to see Daniel face a couple of crew members and grind them into mulch.

Brunson vs. Harrington
Moneymaker vs. Raymer
Laak vs. Esfandiari
Lederer vs. Ivey

Esfandiari v. Hellmuth
Arieh v. Raymer
Hansen v. Ivey
I'd love to see those go at it heads-up.

I don't know who will be there, but here's mine:

Daniel N vs the Master (re: old RGP accusations)
Marcel Luske vs Caro (Comedy Central special)
Doyle vs Fischman (I loved watching Doyle eating Scott alive in WSOP04)
Hansen vs Harrington (poker+backgammon simulcast)
Paul P. vs Hellmuth (need I elaborate?)
Maybe Ellix Powers vs McManus rematch

Juanda v. Negraneu of course
Greenstein V. Seidel
Estfandari v. Flack
Williams v. Ivey

Prahlad Friedman versus:

Hansen, Hellmuth, Flack, Ivey .....any other skilled famous pro.

The best online versus the best live would make for compelling poker to me personally. I continually wonder whether the best players are now on cyberspace or in The Bellagio- Mirage high limit areas.
