National Heads Up Poker Championship

[zaxx19]

Not a huge poker fan here so bear with me...

Yosh is a high limit holdem player who regularly plays like 300-600 I think and mixed games. He was in an episode of the 2003 WSOP and got busted on like day 1 ...i think he tinkers in NLH tourneys for more fun than $$..he almost made the final table in the 02 main event(thanks hendon mob database lol)

Orenstein plays alot of games well...LHE NLHE 7CS ...and has a bracelet in 7 card stud I think.

Wagner, I have no friggun clue.

In commercials for Poker Superstars II, Caro's in that as well.

Isn't Wagner the guy that was discussed in another post about this tourney. A bunch of posters knew the guy and said they'd lay their life's savings on his opponent.

I'm stoked to see Todd Brunson/Erick Lindgren and it's cool that Dewey Tompko and Paul Phillips get another go too.

God I really hope Daniel wears a Miami Heat Shaq jersey to the tourney. That would put me on tilt before the cards were even delt if I was Jerry Buss.

Correct. He flopped bottom set shortstacked and Padraig Parkinson put him all in, Padrig had a flushdraw. Yosh ofcource called and Padraig cought the flush on the turn. Board didn't pair on river and Yosh was out.

The NHPC blind structure was created with consideration toward what would make for good television and what would be fair to all players. On January 30, eight professional players (Howard Lederer, Daniel Negreanu, David Grey, Jennifer Harman Tranielli, Marco Tranielli, Erick Lindgren, Carlos Mortensen and his wife Cecilia) tried out six different structures before settling on the final blind structure (listed below).

They are genuinely treating this tournament the way that they would a PGA or Nascar event, treating the players with the utmost respect and providing a top quality set for the show.

Oh darn, wish the WPT was only 2 months. Considering that the Mirage Poker Showdown was filmed last summer. Not bad...what...8-9 month turnaround and all the reruns you can stomach?
